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 Try your hand at creating your own limerick using this poem generator website
