Limericks

What is a limerick, Mother?
It's a form of verse, said brother
In which lines one and two
Rhyme with five when it's through
And three and four rhyme with each other.

A diner while dining at Crewe
Found a very large mouse in his stew.
Said the waiter, "Don't shout
And wave it about,
Or the rest will be wanting one too.

There was a young woman named Bright
Whose speed was much faster than light.
She set out one day
In a relative way,
And returned on the previous night

There was an old man of Peru
Who dreamt he was eating his shoe
He woke in the night
With a terrible fright
To find it was perfectly true.
Edward Lear
