You may not be aware of this, but the russophone limerick culture is larger
than the anglophone, and it is almost as old, althogh it really started
blossoming in the 70's.
Russian, unlike English, is an easily rhyming language, so the rules of the
limericks in the former are more extensive and limiting.
