Everything Irish-Blog Marathon

A limerick is a five-line poem. The first, second and fifth lines rhyme and the third and fourth lines must rhyme.
Some people say that the limerick was invented by soldiers returning from France to the Irish town of Limerick in the 1700's.
Apparently a Limerick was first seen in 1846, in London, in Edward Lear's Book of Nonsense.

Limericks are meant to be funny. They often contain hyperbole, onomatopoeia, idioms, puns, and other figurative devices. The last line of a good limerick contains the PUNCH LINE or "heart of the joke."
Say the following limerick out loud and clap to the rhythm. (Gwan!)

My dog runs faster than most
She ran off with Mom's Sunday Roast
I was sent in pursuit
of her hot, Juicy loot
so dad wouldn't turn her to toast
