We might forget something, but Google never does.
Lots of info on non-rhyming limericks, ; those with more than 5 lines, etc. Just google 'limerick 9; or (as I did) the first line of the verse Alan provided...
But here's the verse:
A young meter-reader named Peter
While looking around for a meter
By a leak struck a light,
Then he rose out of sight.
And as anyone who knows anything about poetry can plainly see, the
explosion also destroyed the meter.
I suggest a limerick-fest at the next DCHAS social event....
