Where some rhymes had more than one stanza
Poor Ted wasn't sure
If this form was pure
But then again he's only a little teddy bear.
Depends on the source you consult, musick.
Webster's: five anapestic lines, of which lines 1, 2, and 5 are of there feet, and rime, and lines 3 and 4 are of two feet, and rime
The Lure of the Limerick (1967, 1993) (paraphrased description): same as Websters, but: (1) may omit a line's initial weak beat; (2) may add trailing weak beat or beats at end of line, if done consistently over all rhyming lines.
WordNet ® 1.6, © 1997 Princeton University: 5 anapestic lines with a rhyme scheme aabba [states no line-lengh requirement]
AHD®: five anapestic lines usually with the rhyme scheme aabba. [states no line-lengh or rhyme-scheme requirement]

My last submission, almost vulgar enough to be a real one.
F anny Hill led a life under shelter
I n the cathouse, though, everyone felt her.
E ach morning repented -
N ightly, naughties she scented.
D amned near everyone stopped by and smelt her.

Posting limericks her only true joy.
She posted away
But to her dismay,
They didn't attract the right boy
So posting once more it began
And Helen, she showed her true hand.
Some were heard to mutter,
"We're into the gutter."
Yet still no sign of her man
In the end she had to go private
To me she wrote, "If you desire it,
Would you put up a poem
And some rhymes if you know 'em?"
I did; and now of Troy's fire, lit.
Limeraiku
The AWAD pooh-bah
went too far, but got (merde mot)
Away with hoo-ha.
Committed no crime
But yet I'm slapped. Spirit sapped.
Silent passes time.
The last name of Dick she did carry
They lived on Swallow Boulevard
And at times it was hard
But harder it'd have been-hubby's Gary, not Harry.
the slapshots and plays wouldn't faze them
when the ticker had tocked
and the final shot blocked
the Canucks came home Gold medals blazin' !!!!
Now the men with pressure for their role
Take inspiration from the last second goal
To rally the troops,
and take pride in their roots,
Win the Gold net the puck in the five-hole!!!
(hmmm...that was awkward!)
Congratulations to Canada and the USA!! Wicked game!
His job, to show he could perform
He rhymed about pucks
And said Congrats to Cannucks
I send him this greeting so warm
So welcome Aboard from an Angel
And maybe even from Bel
We play everyday
And have lots to say
I'm sure you'll fit in quite well
The shout goes out loud for our Jackie
She polices the gutter
Checks each word we utter
And won't let us chew gum or 'bacca.
When ever they feeling quite frisky,
Bel, Helen and Connie get risqué
With entendres double
They get right into trouble
Then put all the blame on the whiskey.
Whenever he can't get to sleep,
Maverick sits counting sheep
At least, he tells us so;
I'm not sure if I know
If he ain't hiding something more deep!
For poems filled with appeal
None are better than Whitman O'Neill.
But his poems don't rhyme,
So I spend all my time
In trying this defect to heal.
but wotthehell, archie, toujours gaie!
If the sound of gut-scraping makes you-sick
Please keep the fact quiet from Musick
He's mourning his old car
So we mustn't go so far
As to leave him feeling too-sick.
- and I'm mourning it, too - I know how it feels to lose a beloved old mechanical friend!!!
To finish, I'll just have to lean
On words that rhymne well with Bean
Her limerick posting
(Next to Helen, the most's bin)
Are among the best that we have seen
I take comfort from our good old Max.
When our multiple typos
Give us both the gripe-ohs
We just smile and pat each other's backs.
When you want to know what's to be done,
Wise Old Woman is really the one.
She replies in a trice
With the most sound "Add Vice!"
Which at least makes our trouble more fun.
OP
but the first ignited a spark
Will the fire burn out?
i haven't a doubt,
but not before its has left its mark!
It's Wordwind you really must blame
(though, I hated to name her by name!)
Her word play and fun
My simple brain unstrung
Hippopotumusitis and limerickitis are one and the same!
My dear, please don't take this to heart
And think i wish you to depart
But rather, Please,
Sneeze a great sneeze!
and another wild, wooly, wonderful word epidemic, Start!
