A collection of limericks

Front matter

Herein is a collection of verse;
each written to be very terse.
  I hope you'll enjoy,
  That it doesn't annoy,
and once read that you won't start to curse.

Beer

I feel like a growler of beer
But I'm already hammered, I fear
  For me to keep drinking
  (Like sinking, I'm thinking)
Would cause death to come very near!

Limerick on Haiku

I once tried to write
a haiku, but enjambment
ruined it right through!

So a limerick was
writ'n, that it would all fit'n—one
poem then became two!

PᴏETᴇX

There once was a poem called PᴏETᴇX
That’s name sounded somewhat /pəˈθɛtɛk/.
  It was really quite sad,
  to see pronunciation so bad,
And to read such a terrible /ˈlɪme(ə)rɛk/!
