I liked the idea of this and it was clever but not a true limerick the first two lines should rhyme and the second two as well with the last line rhyming with the first eg There was an old man from Leith Who had a set of false teeth but when when he ate meat he found it a such a feat For a piece always went underneath Not a brilliant example but it gives you the idea.
