The rhyme scheme of a limerick is how the pattern of the words at the end of each line rhyme. In a limerick, the rhyme scheme is AABBA. It means that the first, second, and fifth lines rhyme, and the third and fourth lines rhyme.
For example:
- Lou (A)
- shoe (A)
- tight (B)
- night (B)
- too (A)
There once was a cat named Lou,
Who loved to sleep in a shoe.
He curled up so tight,
All day and all night,
And dreamed of chasing birds too!
