Analysis of Dirty Limericks



My mind is kind of a sewer
And I'm not really much of a doer
So I reach down inside
Where there's nothing to hide
And a Limerick pops out every hour

About this poem

I like to write dirty limericks but I don't see any guidelines about it so I thought I'd write a limerick about writing a limerick.
