My version...
There was a young man from Japan
Whose limericks would just never scan
He said "I do fine
"Until the very last line
"Then I'm always trying to squeeze in just as many lengthy syllables
as 'ere I possibly can."

Japan treated the last lines of limericks:
There was a young man from Japan
Whose limericks never would scan
When told it was so
He replied yes I know
But I always try to get as many words into the last line as ever I
possibly can.
