Limerick • I challenge you to write a proper limerick. Complete entries must have both the meter and they rhyme scheme marked. • A limerick is a short, humorous, often ribald or nonsense poem. • Limericks have anapestic meter and a strict rhyme scheme (AABBA).
Sample limericks: There was a young lady named Bright Who traveled much faster than light. She set out one day, In a relative way, And came back the previous night. —Anonymous A flea and a fly in a flue Were imprisoned, so what could they do? Said the fly, "let us flee!" "Let us fly!" said the flea. So they flew through a flaw in the flue. —Ogden Nash
