Quietly without much notice The
Omnificent English Dictionary In Limerick Form has accumulated
(as I type) 15029 word definitions in limerick form. A sample limerick

A bat is a mammal that's small,
Flies at night with a sonar-like call.
Like a rat or a mouse,
If there's one in the house,
I am not very happy at all.
Threat or menace?

Good point; Bird (his closest friends call him "Bird") didn't get that pear shape by sticking to birdseed.

of this research.
