Celebrate National Limerick Day!

May 12 is National Limerick Day!  What is a limerick you ask?  According to Dictionary.com, a limerick is "a humorous, frequently bawdy, verse of three long and two short lines rhyming aabba, popularized by Edward Lear". Here is an example:

There was an Old Man with a beard
Who said, "It is just as I feared!
Two Owls and a Hen,
Four Larks and a Wren,
Have all built their nests in my beard!"
--Edward Lear
