_(Just as a bit of a guide, so we’re actually writing Limericks, in limerick form:_

\*\*\*The first, second, and fifth lines must have seven to ten syllables (‘beats’) while rhyming and follow the same verbal rhythm. The third and fourth lines customarily have only five to seven syllables, and have to rhyme with each other and have the same rhythm. \*\*\*

As Superman sped through the sky,  
He forgot that he had unzipped his fly:

And I’m light as a feather,  
My cock’s there for any to spy.”
