 | | In his time limericks accompanied an illustration on the same subject, and the final line of the limerick was a kind of conclusion, which usually was a variant of the first, ending in the same word. | | | The mythopoeic "man from Nantucket" is also a recurring theme in limericks. | | | Two volumes of Lecherous Limericks were written by Isaac Asimov, the well known science fiction author. |

| | Poetry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Poetry (ancient Greek: ποιεω (poieo) = I create) is traditionally a written art form (although there is also an ancient and modern poetry which relies mainly upon oral or pictorial representations) in which human language is used for its aesthetic qualities in addition to, or instead of, its notional and semantic content. | | | Many of the scriptures currently held to be sacred by contemporary religious traditions with their roots in antiquity were composed as poetry rather than prose to aid memorization and help guarantee the accuracy of oral transmission in pre-literate societies. | | | The increased emphasis on the aesthetics of language and the deliberate use of features such as repetition, meter and rhyme, are what are commonly used to distinguish poetry from prose, but debates over such distinctions still persist, while the issue is confounded by such forms as prose poetry and poetic prose. |

| | This whimsical form of light verse was widely popularized by Edward Lear in the mid 1800's with the publication of his "Book of Nonsense." Its origins, however, are believed to have been from a century earlier when the Irish Brigade sang a chorus enroute from France to Ireland. | | | And you think I can show you some quick tricks? | | | Limericks are written with a specific rhyme scheme of "a-a-b-b-a." In other words, the first, second, and fifth lines rhyme with each other, as do the third and fourth. |
