LIMERICK:
A limerick has five lines.
The last words of lines one, two, and five rhyme.
The last words of lines three and four rhyme.
A limerick has to have a pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables.
    U S U U S U U S

An example is -
"There was an old man from Peru
Who dreamed he was eating his shoe
He awoke in the night
With a terrible fright
To discover it was totally true."

  1. There once was a flea
    and itchey was what he would be
    he itched up your

    one day he found out and said with a shout goodbye flea.
