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.

I do like a well-metered limerick. :)

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."
