This blogpost will give you more understanding and some helpful examples related to a type of limerick-variation indulged in by the authors. To see the whole spectrum of our efforts, you might want to take the time to review "A Corner of the Poet's World: LIMERICK VARIATIONS".
Note that "limerrhoid" is a neologism, i.e. a concocted word invented by the authors for an extended limerick verse; it has no genuine medical significance, although it sounds as if it should. And, before you proceed to learn about limerrhoids, you might want to review the simpler concept of extended 7-line limericks that result from the incorporation of "extra" pairs of lines with A-or B-rhymes. We do also indulge in these less sophisticated entities, and we have collected them for you; Click HERE for "Run-On Limericks".
Authors' Note: an apocryphal tale. The authors offer their apologies to any extant persons in Ireland or elsewhere named Seamus O'Malley, or their descendants.
Further collections of "limerrhoid" verses by the authors, using an extended limerick format, have been compiled for readers; click HERE.
