Limerick

Posted on by

That first English haiku is matched by this:

There was a young man from Japan
Whose limericks never would scan
When asked why this was
He replied “It’s because
I always try and fit as many words into the last line as I possibly can”

For more limericks, see here and here. Oh, and here.
