Notes About The Poem

Limerick form can be strict asto  syllables and meter but is genearlly accepted more loosely provided it sticks to the AABBA rhyme scheme and the first line contains a person and place.It is especially valued if the final rhyme line contains a twist.

Limerick Form An Example

There was a young man from France
who led his friends a fine dance
Some thought him a prude
others said he was rude
Looking at him quite askance
