CONTEST RULES

Limericks consist of five lines. The rhyme scheme is aabba. In other words, Lines One, Two, and Five all rhyme with each other, and Lines Three and Four rhyme with each other.

Here's an example of a classic limerick by Edward Lear, where the first, second and last lines rhyme:

There was a Young Lady whose eyes,
Were unique as to colour and size;
When she opened them wide,
People all turned aside,
And started away in surprise.

The typical rhythm of a limerick is like this:

dah-DAH dah-dah-DAH dah-dah-DAH

dah-DAH dah-dah-DAH dah-dah-DAH
dah-DAH dah-dah-DAH
dah-DAH dah-dah-DAH

dah-DAH dah-dah-DAH dah-dah-DAH
