Erecting a Limerick: A Guide To Its Rhythm
Shows and explains the limerick rhythm pattern. Includes charts, real-world examples ("Nantucket" limericks) and original limericks. Disambiguates the prosody of the limerick (anapest-based) from that of Shakespeare (iamb-based).
For the slightly squeamish, which includes the author, curse words are shown partially obscured and are restricted to the quoted examples.
