a song with the same verse construction, current in Ireland,
the refrain of which contains the place name Limerick.]
A humorous, often nonsensical, and sometimes risq['e] poem of

feet, and rhyme, and lines 3 and 4 are of two feet, and
rhyme.

There was a young lady, Amanda,
Whose Ballades Lyriques were quite fin de
Si[`e]cle, I deem
But her Journal Intime
Was what sent her papa to Uganda.
[Webster 1913 Suppl. +PJC]
