Now That I know it is National Limerick Day

The excuse behind National Limerick Day:

He was a 19th century pioneer
So, on May 12th of the year
National Limerick Day
Is our way to say
Happy Birthday to poet Edward Lear.

Many disdain limericks for the scatalogical content of a few popular ones:

Limericks have an unwholesome reputation
For a bald and naked fixation
Will it offend so
If I use innuendo
For disguised, restrained titillation?
