 Topic  Limericks 
 Message  I’ve never really tried to write a limerick, but I’d like to write one specifically for a friend. I’ve researched and read some, but I’d like to know if anyone really cares if it doesn’t follow the exact same rules? It’s an AABBA rhyme scheme, and I’ve got that, but the other rules...

Please let me know.

 Message  Very specific pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables.

There once was a lady of Niger
Who smiled as she rode on a tiger.
They returned from the ride
With the lady inside
And the smile on the face of the tiger.
