What is a "limerick"?

A limerick is a humorous, five-line poem with a specific rhythm and rhyme scheme, typically AABBA. The first, second, and fifth lines usually have three metrical feet, while the third and fourth lines have two metrical feet. Limericks are known for their playful and often whimsical nature, often featuring clever wordplay, puns, or absurd situations. This form is characterized by its lighthearted tone, making it popular for children's poetry and comedic writing. The structured format and rhythmic quality contribute to the limerick's charm, allowing poets to create engaging and memorable verses.
