Fred, the Pinto

Strict 8-8-5-5-8 meter. I once owned a Pinto named Fred. Its color was some shade of red. I pulled on the choke. The steering wheel broke. But now it is mercif'ly dead.

Thank you, Brian. I particularly like the 8-8-5-5-8 meter with exact rhymes. I believe Limericks need to conform to a strict meter in order to be enjoyable to read. Limericks are made to be "sung."
