If you look closely at mine, you may find that while there are the right number of syllables, they don't always read as smoothly as a limerick should. To this I say, read it 'stiffly' in a John Kerry voice.
Someone should consider sending some of these to the RNC/GOP to share the laugh.
And if you take a close look at mine you'll find that it *does* read smoothly as a limerick should -- and that's why I added the extra beats. Wow, limerick critics yet!
