Nobody really knows the origin of Limericks for sure, but we do know that they became popular after Edward Lear published a collection of them in his 1845 publication “The Book Of Nonsense”.

Edward Lear truly did write a lot of nonsense, but funny nonsense, including the well known “The Owl and the Pussycat”. You can learn more about these in The History Of Limericks.

Limericks are also named after the town of Limerick in Ireland. We also have some jokes about Limerick for you.
