On this Saint Patrick's Day, we shall revisit the famous Irish form Limerick. The Limerick has five lines. Lines 1, 2, and 5 all rhyme with three anapestic feet ( https://literarydevices.net/anapest/ ) per line. Lines 2 and 3 rhyme with shorter lines of two anapestic feet. The theme should be humorous, or even hilarious, as demonstrated in the following links: https://parade.com/1249429/marynliles/limericks/ https://examples.yourdictionary.com/limerick-examples.html "In the Barrio" Let the creativity flow from your soul!
