County Limerick
I wonder if "County Limerick" gave rise to the venerable limerick rhyme, traditionally ribald in nature.
Did the Palatine community bring the rhyming limerick with them to Ireland?
And was it always 'ribald' in nature, or did it evolve into that reputation because its form was particularly well-suited to the task?
