Limericks

A limerick is a humorous poem with five lines. It has a very specific format: it must have five lines. The first, second and fifth line all rhyme with each other.  The third and fourth lines also rhyme with each other. The most common scheme is the 8-9-6-6-9 syllables per line. Limericks also tend to have a surprise ending. They come from old songs about the town of Limerick, Ireland.
