The limerick packs laughs anatomical
In space that is quite economical,
But the good ones I’ve seen
So seldom are clean,
And the clean ones so seldom are comical.

We had our high-brow poetry column on Monday, but I think this crowd could really do some bang up limericks.
So what are the rules of this delicious poetry form? Very simple. A five line stanza with the first, second and fifth lines rhyming. The third and fourth lines are shorter and also rhyme. There are a few more details about the poetry meter you can find here. Most importantly, it should make a school girl blush.
You have until the end of the day to come up with a truly breath-takingly bawdy rant and I will announce a winner tomorrow.
