A limerick is a humorous five-line poem with a strict rhyme scheme of AABBA. The first, second, and fifth lines have the same rhyme, while the third and fourth lines have a different rhyme. Limericks are typically lighthearted and often nonsense, making them a fun and engaging form of poetry.

Here is an example of a limerick:

There once was a fellow named Clyde, 
Whose hair was a source of great pride. 
He'd comb it and style it, 
And never beguile it, 
A sight to behold, far and wide.

Here are some of the key features of a limerick:

  • Five lines: A limerick is made up of exactly five lines.
  • AA rhyme scheme: The first, second, and fifth lines rhyme with each other.
  • BB rhyme scheme: The third and fourth lines rhyme with each other.
  • Humorous content: Limericks are typically lighthearted and often nonsense, making them a fun and engaging form of poetry.

Limericks are a popular form of poetry that has been around for centuries. They are often used in children's literature, but they can also be enjoyed by adults. Limericks are a great way to practice your rhyming skills and to have some fun with language.
