Hadn’t seen this one before but I saw this in a book:

There once was a man from Peru,
Whose limericks stopped at line two

and then later in the same book they had

There once was a man from Verdun

I figured that was a double layer of extrapolation.

Also couldn’t be bothered typing the rest on a phone.

There was once an unfortunate bard

Who found fashioning limericks hard.

He stopped at line three

There once was a bard from Japan
Whose limericks never would scan
When told this was so
He replied, 'Yes, I know"
“But I always try and fit as many words into the last line as I possibly can.”

Reminds me of an oldie:

“Roses are red, Violets are blue. Some poems rhyme, This one don’t.”

I will occasionally go out of my way to put together birthday cards etc for friends and family rather than buy something off the rack. One year I made this for my cousin:

Roses are red

Violets are too

(Violet in red dot jpeg)

open

I ran out of cyan

Happy birthday

I knew it as

Roses are red.
Violets are blue
I hate rhyming.

Yes these kinds of works works best when you sing them like bards would. Just reading them as is is not as good. Or you can sing them like tenacious d (they got the bard style going on)
