[Vienna]

Vicar said to the priest one day
Time to kneel down and pray
so he lifted his cassock

[Vienna]

Vicar said to the priest one day
Time to kneel down and pray
so he lifted his cassock
Kneeled on his hassock
and played with his dick all day

"The anapest metric must show the following pattern:
(da) da DA da da DA da da DA (da) (da)
(da) da DA da da DA da da DA (da) (da)
(da) da DA da da DA (da)
(da) da DA da da DA (da)
(da) da DA da da DA da da DA (da) (da)
Meaning that you can leave off the syllables in parentheses.
But 1, 2 and 5 should match each other, and 3 and 4 should match.
there ONCE was a GIRL from nanTUCKet        --- leaves off the final 'da'
the LIMerick packs LAUGHS anaTOmical  --- uses all of them

A good example of a limerick:
The limerick packs laughs anatomical
Into space that is quite economical.
But the good ones I've seen
Hardly ever are clean
And the clean ones so seldom are comical.

Another example with anapests and rhyme highlighted:
There was a young man of Darjeeling
Endowed with such delicate feeling
When he read on the door
"Do not spit on the floor",
He jumped up and then spat on the ceiling!"

There once was a cowboy in drag

[pbstud]

There once was a cowboy in drag
and the Indian who called him a fag

[Vienna]

There once was a cowboy in drag
and the Indian who called him a fag
so they decided to pray

[Kowboy]

There once was a cowboy in drag
and the Indian who called him a fag
so they decided to pray
As to which one was gay

[Writeram]

interesting that this stalled in May of this year; did everyone lose interest?

There once was a cowboy in drag
and the Indian who called him a fag
so they decided to pray
so they thought they might pray
As to which one was gay
their limerick then hit a snag?

There once was a programmer analyst

[DGSquared]

There once was a programmer analyst
Who worked for a guy with a hammer fist

[Nora]

There once was a programmer analyst
Who worked for a guy with a hammer fist
He went on vacation
All over the nation
And returned with his head in an abacus

[DGSquared]

The fat crown that he wore on his head

[Nora]

The fat crown that he wore on his head
Was just a tad awkward in bed
