Don't bother. 99% of people who have ever written a "limerick" don't know what a limerick actually is - the closest most of them come is "five lines, aabba" - and 50% get ticked off when you tell them that they don't.

To teach scansion that was just the best
But he was too pedantic
His friends soon went frantic
And considered him an anapest

Explain yourself what is wrong with me limericks?

He treats us like d~cks
It's time someone tamed his shrew.
