700 Limerick Lyrics

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. A writer in a western paper notes that this is the day of the limerick, and says of this popular form of nonsense verse that it possesses a Jingling rhythm which haunts the memory long after the measured sonorousness of an epic or the lilting melody of a lyric have departed. The writer is evidently under the delusion that all nonsense verses are limericks. Now, we can''t give a dictionary definition of a limerick, for the reason that the word, for some unaccountable reason, isn''t given; but at least we know one when we see one.
