Listed below is a great example of a limerick composed by one of Nubianpoets.com two time Poet of the Month Winner, Faruq Bilal Rasheed
Unfortunate Blissful Predicament
Countless millions like you and me (a)
Have been separated from the true liberty key (a)
Lost in confusion (b)
Laboring under illusion (b)
Only thinking themselves to be free (a)
