It's not just the number of syllables and the rhyme scheme, that make a limerick, there is a pretty standardised meter for them as well.

These are the ones most used, the ones that fit in limerick songs, where DUM indentifies the syllables with emphasis :

taDUMta taDUMta taDUMta or
tadaDUM tadaDUM tadaDUM (ta) for lines 1, 2 and 5 and

taDUMta taDUM or
tadaDUM tadaDUM for lines 3 and 4
A little kindness can be so valuable, yet costs almost nothing

In many countries being gay is a crime, and even in modern societies, politicians try to legalise discrimination. Your voice can make a difference. Have a look at All Out to find out how.

I appreciate both of your comments, I had a friend add this thread for more the enjoyment of being part of a limerick than the rules, eg. Roses Are Red the thread is more fun than particle. - He made a mistake and put it in the pub section first, use that one for rules and leave this one for top of your head pleasure.
If you can see yourselves being with a bunch of Limerick butchers you are always more than welcome to join in smile

If you want to, but in this thread, I think fun an creativity weigh more than the the right numbers of syllables with the correct emphasis.
