Limericks (my passive, almost-leisure writing)

What are limericks? Well, here's old Mr Webster to help you out:

lim·er·ick

noun
a kind of humorous verse of five lines, in which the first, second, and fifth lines rhyme with each other, and the third and fourth lines, which are shorter, form a rhymed couplet.
 
Basically, its a catchy little poem, a silly jingle that can get stuck in your head very fast. They are extremely fun to write and even more fun to read :)  
 
Here's one I made up: 
 
I was driving down a street one day, 
It was morning of the fifth of May, 
On the way to my test,   
I barely had rest, 
Even though I passed right away. 
 
If you have one, just post it as a comment, I'd love to hear it. Hint: Use the online rhyming dictionary 
for help! Good luck writing
