Today is National Limerick Day

Below is a little verse that I wrote
for the OEDILF project
(The Omnificent English Dictionary In Limerick Form):

http://www.oedilf.com/db/Lim.php?

On the twelfth day of May poets cheer.
Though they're chock-full of limericks each year,
They can write just one more,
Full of candles galore,
For the birthday of limericist Lear.

Every year on May 12, Limerick Day is celebrated
in many countries, including Ireland,
the United Kingdom,
and the United States.

The celebrations are in honor
of the birthday
of famed limericist
Edward Lear (1812–1888).
