The Problem Of Style Over Content Of A Limerick

The Problem Of Style Over Content Of A Limerick

This aspect has been debated several times. Different people hold different views.

I believe that if a limerick makes you smile / laugh / guffaw, its purpose is served. To hell with style or content!

The Anonymous Author of the following limerick succinctly describes the problem of style over content:

The limerick packs laughs anatomical
Into space that is quite economical;
The good ones I’ve seen
Are seldom so clean,
Whilst the clean ones are seldom so comical.

What is your view dear reader?

    The limericks are so funny.
    I have not attempted to write any till date.
    Will try with inspiration from you.
    Have you written limericks with spoonerism?
