>From Wikipedia:

"A limerick is a kind of a witty, humorous, or nonsense poem,[1]
especially one in five-line anapestic or amphibrachic meter with a
strict rhyme scheme (aabba), which intends to be witty or humorous,
and is sometimes obscene with humorous intent. The form can be found
in England as of the early years of the 18th century.[2] It was
popularized by Edward Lear in the 19th century, although he did not
use the term."
