Sorry - I don't see a way to fit that into a Limerick - wrong metre! That's quite all right, Capt. It's progressive, free-form limerick style. I'll give you a leg up.  Height did not hinder He reached every wind'er |

Height did not hinder
He reached every wind'er
That Scotsman on wobbly stilts
But always remember
that come the December
Its neither polite
nor that wise
to wear kilts
...ship ahoy!..now where's the brass monkeys?

It can't be lim'rick and free-form It's simply not part of the norm . . . Feeling rather anti-creative today.  |

The rhyme won't take flight
If the metre's not right
Still, of course, any port in a storm...

Most storms start in cups of hot tea
Much like those so violent, at sea . . .
