Limericks

I like limericks. They are short, they rhyme, they are easy to understand and they are funny. We were reading Edward Lear's limericks, who made limericks popular in the first place. They usually start like "there was a... someone", and then the other lines are about what happened to that someone. It doesn't always make sense, but it's entertaining. Not a lot of hidden meaning can be found in limericks, it's basically just playing with words.
