limerick
When used as a common noun, this term describes a specific poetic form characterized by a playful, often irreverent or mischievous tone. It is distinct from other poetry due to its rigid AABBA rhyme scheme and its strong association with folk humor and ribaldry.
As a proper noun, it refers specifically to the Irish city. In this context, it is always capitalized and follows the standard grammatical rules for geographic locations.
