What Constitutes a Limerick?

[aj47]

Looks better this way:

There was a tall man from Cornwall,
whose length exceeded his bed.
My body fits on it,
but barely upon it,
There’s no room for my big Cornish head.

It's still not a limerick. Cornwall doesn't rhyme with bed and head.

It's still not a limerick. Cornwall doesn't rhyme with bed and head.

True enough but at least it looks better.

[Harper J. Cole]

Let me try ...

There once was a man from Cornwall
Who stood just a little too tall
He exceeded his bed
By the length of his head
Oh how much he yearned to be small

“A wonderful bird is the Pelican.
His beak can hold more than his belly can.
He can hold in his beak
Enough food for a week!
But I'll be darned if I know how the hellican?”

For all you Limerick champs! This is your Day.
