Doing My Part

Once I was invited to a dance
Unfortunately, I couldn’t prance
She was a beauty, worth a try;
And, I’m an adventurous kind of guy
By her side, for sure, I did enhance!

I borrowed the word "prance" from you.

So all limericks are quintillas, but not all quintillas are limericks? Is that how this works? Another one I don't know that I've paid any attention to.

I think a true limerick has to have a certain rhythm, where the Quintilla doesn't have to have that rhythm or a prescribed line length, does it? Actually, I don't believe this is either, but I just called it a Quintilla. I should have just called it "light verse." I will change it.
