Analysis of To, Too, Two Limericks In One!



There was a fair dame named Jennet.
Who smiled though the rain made her face wet!
She'd say, "A smile be your umbrella", to each gal and
each fella'.
Now she sings in a barbershop quartet.

My poetic license has been quite abused.
And so often I do get confused.
But try as I may as I watch the word play,
Rhyming rhythm is the game that I choose!
