According to Wikipedia, a limerick is a kind of a witty, humorous, or nonsense poem,
especially one in five-line anapestic or amphibrachic meter with a strict rhyme
scheme (AABBA), which is sometimes obscene with humorous intent.

To his friend, Ned said, rather blue,

A monkey who live in the zoo
Got terribly bored with the view

A worthy writer, history relates
Was scuffling with some of his mates

A very rude boy from down the Hall
Wrote these very funny words on a wall

There once was a poet from Peru
Who had a lot of growing up to do,

By winds that left her quite nude

Who said, "it's just how I feared!

Who rarely opened her mouth.

Accidentally began milking a bull
