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?
Best
