It's Limerick Time

The clown in him thought, 'It's Limerick Time!'
Couldn't come up with a single darn line --
   Poor guy racked his brain
   Went nearly insane -- 
Saw that the second darn line didn't rhyme

He decided to write him a sonnet
Texted Shakespeare for free advice on it --  
   Willy didn't text back
   Our friend thought, 'What a hack' --
Have to place a bee in the Bard's bonnet
