What are Limericks?

I had recently shared my first limerick on this blog and I soon found out that hardly anyone knew what a limerick was. So I decided to write on 'What are Limericks?' Written below is what I could gather on the topic. According to an Oxford Dictionary, "a limerick is a type of humorous poem with five lines, the first two rhyming with the last."  Limericks aren't very common but they are funny and interesting to read. They are also a lot harder to write than normal poetry. I hope that reading this has given you some kind of idea of what a limerick is. If not, please google it up. Anyway, thanks for reading. And also, please see the limerick that I wrote, It's here on my blog.
