Good going Jersey and thanks for the link..

A limerick is a five-line, often humorous and ribald poem with a strict meter, popularized by Edward Lear and Charlie Murphy. The rhyme scheme is usually "A-A-B-B-A", with a rather rigid meter. The first, second, and fifth lines are three metrical feet; the third and fourth two metrical feet. - Wikipedia
