Limericks are a particular kind of poem with defined syllables.
First, second and fifth line has 8 syllables, and all rhyme with each other. The third and fourth line are 5 syllables each and they rhyme with each other.

He’s so prim and proper at times
He drinks ginger ale with limes
Leanne Rhymes he likes,
