Default Re: Dom 3 Limericks?

Would I be lynched for suggesting that you are supposed to write limericks in anapests? The anapests are what make them feel so...bouncy? and make them easy to read like a limerick. The majority of people aren't doing this, though clevelands two and gandalf's ones are pretty anapestic(but gandalf tends to have one awkward line in each one)

Sorry, I'm an english major.

In bogarus a man was quite old
And wrote lim’ricks that were a bit bold
about skopets and khlyst
So they cut off his wrist
And now hes an angel fivefold

see? lots of happy anapests.
