The Lyrics
I wanna live in a limericks world:
rhymes anapestic, and lines, only five.
Little limericks world.
Just a few restrictions, to keep the form tight;
the syllable count has gotta be just right
in limericks world.
Content is nasty, sometimes that is so
It can be quite ghastly; form of humor: low…
pornish limericks world.
What are these restrictions for which you must strive?
The syllable counts: eight or nine; six or five.
They’re found in “The Pearl”.*
Rhyme scheme only allows
two types in five lines here’s how:
AABBA plan.
Subject, sometimes: Nantucket man.
There once was….
rhymes anapestic, and lines, only five.
Little limericks world.
Just a few restrictions, to keep the form tight;
the syllable count has gotta be just right
in limericks world.
Content is nasty, sometimes that is so
It can be quite ghastly; form of humor: low…
pornish limericks world.
What are these restrictions for which you must strive?
The syllable counts: eight or nine; six or five.
They’re found in “The Pearl”.*
Rhyme scheme only allows
two types in five lines here’s how:
AABBA plan.
Subject, sometimes: Nantucket man.
There once was….
* a collection of erotic tales, rhymes, songs and parodies in magazine form that was published in London between 1879 and 1881. Shut down by the authorities for publishing rude and obscene literature.
