A limerick has five lines. 
The last words of lines one, two, and five rhyme. 
The last words of lines three and four rhyme. 
A limerick has to have a pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables.

    U S U U S U U S 
    U S U U S 
    U S U U S

An example is - 
"There was an old man from Peru 
Who dreamed he was eating his shoe 
He awoke in the night 
With a terrible fright 
To discover it was totally true."
