		In his time limericks accompanied an illustration on the same subject, and the final line of the limerick was a kind of conclusion, which usually was a variant of the first, ending in the same word.

		In the history of Irish literature the town of Croom, in Co. Limerick, is celebrated as the meeting place of the 18th century Fili na Maighe, the Gaelic poets of the Maigue.
		Two of the first, and most famous, exponents of the Limerick poem were poet and publican Sean O’ Tuama (1706-’75), and his friend Andrias MacCriath (1710-’93).
		O’ Tuama and MacCraith grew up together in Kilmallock, Co. Limerick and were educated in one of the many hedge schools of the time, with a traditional education incorporating Latin and Greek studies.

	[minstrels] The Limerick Packs Laughs Anatomical -- Anonymous
		As I said in a previous commentary, the limerick is a nicely balanced combination of a clever and entertaining structure and a fairly low entry barrier; this has been responsible for a flood of limericks that is, conceivably, greater in volume than the sum total of all other amateur verse.
		There is a large body of famous limericks, many of them in several minor variations, that seem to have entrenched themselves in the collective canon without much benefit of formal publication or compilation.
		Also, the limerick is a very self-contained form; while I've seen several poems with each verse consisting of a limerick, I feel that the technique doesn't really work, because of the irresistible feeling of closure when the reader reaches the fifth line.
