|It's a pity so many of your limericks lack rhythm, which is an important aspect of poetry. A true limerick should trip off the toungue with a satisfying lilt like the comforting beat of a train journey. Say these aloud as examples (I didn't write them).
I know a young chap from Australia
Who painted his arse like a dahlia.
The petals were fine,
The colour divine,
But the perfume? Ah that was a failure!
A mathematician called Hall
Had a hexahedronical ball.
The cube of its weight
Plus his pecker, times 8
Is his phone number. Give him a call!
