This looked like a good example without the constraint of 'there once was a man...'
A notable Limerick - which won an Irish 'Listowel Writers Week' prize in 1998 - exemplifies the structure:
Writing a Limerick's absurd,
Line one and line five rhyme in word,
And just as you've reckoned
They rhyme with the second;
The fourth line must rhyme with the third.
Good luck with it./Chris
