A limerick is a rhyming, humorous, and often nonsensical five-line poem. The first, second, and fifth lines rhyme (forming a triplet), and have the same number of syllables. The third and fourth lines rhyme (forming a couplet), and have the same number of syllables. Limericks often begin with the words: There once was. . . or There was a. . .

There once was a gray schnauzer named Spark

 Quite talkative, he so liked to bark.

 Sometimes running he found

 His feet all off the ground

 Especially on larks in the park.

There once was a girl who loved rhyme;

 She felt her writing was sublime.

 Indeed quite a poet,

 Though some didn't know it,

 She'd be rich if each paid a dime.

There was a mean clown in the circus.

 For fun he would push us and jerk us.

 He would hit us with pies

 That left cream in our eyes.

 His act never once failed to irk us.
