    bug and slug one didn't follow the limerick line lengths so maybe it just fell apart.
    :rolleyes: :eek: [​IMG]
    Lines should be (in terms of number of syllables) 9,9,5,5,9 or 8,8,5,5,8 and rhyming a,a,b,b,a; the only accepted variation on this that I know of is
    There was a young man from Japan
    wrote limericks that never would scan
    when asked why this was
    he said it's because
    I always try and get as many words in the last line as I absolutely possibly can.
