Limericks .... 

Ms Backx recites those she knows by heart ... 

These are the rules:

The standard form of a limerick is a stanza of five lines, with the first, second and fifth rhyming with one another and having three feet of three syllables each; and the shorter third and fourth lines also rhyming with each other, but having only two feet of three syllables. 

The first line traditionally introduces a person and a place, with the place appearing at the end of the first line and establishing the rhyme scheme for the second and fifth lines. 

A A B B A

The rhythm of a limerick is anapestic, which means two unstressed syllables are followed by a third stressed syllable.

The first, second, and final line each have three anapests—da dum da da dum da da dum.

The third and fourth lines have two anapests-—da dum da da dum
