• Limerick (verse), a humorous verse form, the
  subject of which is often nonsensical but the
  structure of which is strictly prescribed. This
  definite pattern consists of five anapestic
  lines.
• Lines one, two, and five contain three metrical
  feet, and rhyme lines three and four contain two
  metrical feet, and rhyme.
• Originally, limericks were delivered orally and
  served as commentaries on manners and behavior.

The term limerick (from a refrain in a popular
song of the day "will you come up to Limerick")
was first applied in the late 1890s to Lear's
verse.

Edward Lear

• Edward Lear (1812-1888), English painter and
  humorist, born in London. The excellence of his
  early drawings of birds brought him to the
  attention of the London Zoological Society, for
  which he illustrated The Family of the
  Psittacidae (1832)
• He traveled (1837-1847) throughout Europe and the
  Near East, recording his travels in the
  Illustrated Journals of a Landscape Painter.

• Lear's acutely observant travel books have been
  overshadowed by the popularity of his light
  verse, such as the famous poem The Owl and the
  Pussycat. Considered among the masters of the
  limerick, to which he gave the modern formula and
  metrical cadence, he wrote A Book of Nonsense
  (1846), Nonsense Songs (1871), and Laughable
  Lyrics (1877).
