Meta-limericks

Three meta-limericks:

Origin unknown

A decrepit old gas-man named Peter,
While searching about for the meter,
          Lit the gas with his light
          And arose out of sight
And as any reasonably educated reader will immediately be able to discern,
 this also destroyed the meter.

Via David Johannsen

There once was a girl from Japan
Whose limericks never would scan
          When asked why this was
          She responded, "Because
I always try to fit as many words into the final line as I possibly can!"

Via Dan Dennett

There once was a woman named Tuck
Who had the most terrible luck
          She went out in a punt
          And fell over the front
And was bit on the leg by a duck!
