There is the mad hatter, the march hare and me
Noteable crazy, in a way, are all three.
When with mad fever i burn
it's to limericks i turn
making merry with rhymes of two and three!
Distempered, so clearly in mind
Logic; still plainly you'll find.
In WordPlay and Fun
My fever will run
Elsewhere here, to a halt, it will grind!
It's tedious when crazy i go
Only sympathy i hope you will show.
i trust you'll be kind,
as i act the behind
and for yourself, to give a limerick a go!

Few could keep up with your pace
So I'm relieved it isn't a race
A little bosh
Is just the nosh
It takes so all can save face.
Great idea, Of Troy.

i have a theory, that is for sure
about my madness; it's cause and it's cure
my snyopes explode
as my blood calcium load
become more than they can endure
in neuro-chemisty i hardly excell
but this reaction i know quite well
Its odd to chose
My mind to lose,
Or to let my bones go to hell!

Your "synopes" are all ablaze
It leaves me in such a daze
To stay abreast
Would take more than my best
Don't slow down for me, just "Amaze!".

There was a young man from San Fran, [8]
Whose limericks just would not scan. [8]
When told this was so, [5]
He said, 'yes, I know; [5]
'But I always try to get as many syllables into the last line as I possibly can.' [8x3]
(not real original, but apt)

Have you noticed how very demanding
Are critics so reprimanding
It makes me cry
To give it a try
While others are simply bystanding. :)

The key to a limerick’s heart:
Good rhythm and rhyme, for a start!
To raise it to art?
Relax, you old tart,
Or else we just won’t give a fart!

Are you part of the imperial WE?
Giving orders about what is to be?
I missed the chance
To look askance,
And must be content just to be me.
Victoria Rex, at her imperial best
Ruled an empire spanning east and west.
“WE are not amused.”
she’s accused
of uttering, in response to a jest.

A A b b A to start
Rhyme is one crucial part
leavened a bit
with meter and wit
Total, better than any one part!
If the meter or rhyming is lame
Its clear the author's to blame
gringing an ax
or perceiving attacks
Shows you're not up for the game.
At a glance its simple to see
How to do it; what it must be
put pen to paper,
join in the caper
fun, wit, and a bit of repartee!
