The definition of a limerick: “A humorous five line poem with rhythm scheme: AABBA. Three lines “A” have a beat or rhythm of eight and they rhyme (sound the same). Two lines “B” have a rhythm of five and they too sound the same.

TO GET YOU, THE READER, STARTED – HERE’S A BAD EXAMPLE:

Who people preferred to call John (8)
Then give me more time (5)
