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
