Today is international Limerick Day. A limerick is a five-line poem with a rhyme scheme of aabba, and is supposed to be funny. The first Limerick was written on this day by Edward Lear. Here's an example of a limerick from Wikipedia:
The limerick packs laughs anatomical
In space that is quite economical,
But the good ones I've seen
So seldom are clean,
And the clean ones so seldom are comical.
Give it your best shot!
