Category: Limericks
Limericks, which originated around 1896, are short, humorous poems five lines long. The first, second, and fifth lines rhyme with each other. The third and fourth lines are shorter and form a rhymed couplet. Stumpy believes that the point of the poem matters more than slavish adherence to anapestic form. So screw metrical feet. Just enjoy them!
