Making this up as I go along, I'd guess this recent one is developing into the rarer:
Short line rhyme "a"
Short line rhyme "a"
Longer line rhyme "b"
Short line rhyme "a"
Short line rhyme "a"
Longer line rhyme "b"
format... This leaves us with:
"sorry, didn't mean to post that!
I just wanted to chat
and have a good moan about something"
So, my next line would be:
"in five minutes flat"
leaving you to rhyme with that, and someone else to finish off with a longer line rhyming with "something"...?
btw, What *DID* happen to Merkin?

Sorry, didn't mean to post that!
I just wanted to chat
and have a good moan about something
in five minutes flat
I'm marrying an acrobat
(Someone write something that ryhmes with "something" and then start a new one, with traditional limmerick structure, so we ain't too confused)
