This famous limerick appeared in Princeton University’s humor magazine Princeton Tiger in 1902 and details the bad luck of an unfortunate man from Nantucket: (Originally published in Tommy Thumb’s Songbook in 1744.) Here’s one you may recall-and probably didn’t even realize it was a limerick! Limericks tend to be popular in children’s literature. Here’s a limerick on the state of novels by classic sci-fi author H.G. Though the limerick has a reputation for tackling frivolous, humorous subject matter, even the most well-known authors have had fun with the form. With anapest, the leading few words or syllables are short, and the final syllables are usually longer and more stressed. Limericks are written using the anapest rhythm/metering system.
The third and fourth lines also rhyme, creating a total rhyme scheme of AABBA. Typically, a limerick is just five short lines with the first, second, and fifth lines rhyming. Since then, limericks have woven their way into literature and the hearts of many amused readers. Lear’s A Book of Nonsense featured several limericks accompanied by related illustrations. Limericks came into mainstream popularity during the mid-1800s thanks to author and poet Edward Lear. The oldest discovered text in the limerick format was a Latin prayer written sometime during the thirteenth century. Often humorous, sometimes naughty, yet always entertaining, limericks are believed to have originated in (no, not in Nantucket-but we’ll get to that) Ireland’s County of Limerick.
