I've always struggled with limericks. Firstly, there's the structure, which I find hard to work with, then there's actually being humorous.
This is actually pretty good. |

| Oops! I messed up. Lines 1, 2 and 5 should rhyme and have 9 syllables and lines 3 and 4 should rhyme and have 6 syllables. Lines 1 and 2 only have 8. I am going to try again. |

| Be happy with what you have because something else might be ten times worse. There are just life lessons everywhere, aren't there? I thought it was very nice. |
