A limerick is a five-line humorous poem with a distinct AABBA rhyme scheme and a bouncy rhythm.

Edward Lear (born today) popularised the form in the 19th century, frequently using them in his of Nonsense.

What is your favourite limerick? Feel free to share 😉

There was a young lady from Slough
Who last year developed a cough
She wasn't to know
It would last until now
Let's hope the poor girl will pull through

- Mrs Trellis, North Wales
