There once was a man
From one place, who did something.
Then climax, punchline.
The first two lines rhyme.
Third, fourth does differently.
Last with first, second.
There was a young man
Accused he had limericks
And haikus confused.
He thought that was fair
So wrote down a pair; ended
With both of them fused
There was an old man
From Peru, whose limericks
Looked like Haiku. He
Said with a laugh, "I
Cut them in half, the pay is
Much better for two."
