Rhythm is very important in limericks for the first, second and fifth lines must have seven to ten syllables. However, the third and fourth lines only need five to seven. Lines 1, 2 and 5 rhyme with each other, and lines 3 and 4 rhyme with each other. Practitioners of the limerick included [[Edward Lear]], [[Alfred, Lord Tennyson|Lord Alfred Tennyson]], [[Rudyard Kipling]], [[Robert Louis Stevenson]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Poets|first=Academy of American|title=Limerick {{!}} Academy of American Poets|url=https://poets.org/glossary/limerick|access-date=2020-10-10|website=poets.org|quote="Limericks can be found in the work of Lord Alfred Tennyson, Rudyard Kipling, Robert Louis Stevenson"}}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
