Recently I heard a poet say that limericks should not rhyme because there is no rhyme for the word 'limerick'. This seemed flimsy reasoning to me but anyway I set myself to find some rhymes for Limerick. Here are some of the (very silly) results: br br (1) br Said a poet composing a limerick br 'I'll share an ice cream with my love and give him a lick' br She wrote down her rhyme br And he said 'about time, br And I'd appreciate it if we could take in a flick.' br br (2) br A poet composing a Limerick br Said finding a rhyme gave him quite a kick. br He rhymed Clever with Ever br And Weather with Whether br And found that he'd written a Cork br (Er) br br (3) br A poet who always wrote limericks br Was known as a terrible cleverdick.
