An amusing time with rhyme

Limericks are poems that have their own special rhythm and way of rhyming. They have five lines. The first two lines are of similar length, and they rhyme with each other. They usually have about eight or nine syllables or separate sounds. Then there are two shorter lines that rhyme with each other but not the first two lines. And finally, the last line is of similar length as the first two and usually rhymes with them. Limericks are often written to entertain or amuse readers.

Here is an example:

There once was a boy from Hong Kong

Who always did everything wrong

He lost all his money

And thought it was funny

And decided to just sing a song
