using other forms besides iambic pentameter.

Anyone have limericks that they can share?

I didn't write this one, but I like it:

Ants assemble at arms and advance
Against apes all absconding askance.
After aardvarks arrive
Antsy apes (all alive)
Assert, ‘Arrogant assholes are ants!’

I wonder what the predominant meter of limericks (to get this back on-topic
so that certain dark forces don't axe us) is. Catalectic amphibrachic????

Here's one of mine:

There was a young lady from France
Who put ants in a gentleman's pants
Said he, all askance, "you've put ants in my pants".
Said she, "see, I've taught you to dance"

For the one above: (stressed = / , unstressed = o )
