Limericks for the Purist (communal)

[yaledo]

1. We walked and we walked till our feet ached
2. Through the forest with child forsaked
3. We stumbled on rocks
4. We climbed over logs
5. Till the child we'd forsook was quite baked.

The purist in me at this point must make 2 points...
On rhythm:
the rhythm of line 1, and to a lesser extent line 2, was way off! It needs to have the same metre as either:
"There once was a man from Nantucket"
and
"There was a young lady named Mary"
or else
"There once was a man from Bombay"
and
"While taking the duchess to tea"
On content:
Mark Twain described a $1 Limerick as one which you cannot use in polite society, a $5 Limerick you cannot tell in front of ladies, and a $10 Limerick you cannot tell infront of anybody, even saying it to yourself should make you ashamed. At the very least, we should aim to have the last line contain such slyness that you would be uncomfortable saying it to your mother.
The only exception to this is when there is mitigating cleverness throughout the Limerick
