I Like to Look Up at Them
I took up an old horn of plenty,
It was battered and rusted and denty.
It tried to provide
A giraffe that's named Clyde,
But I shrugged. I already had twenty.

I'm certainly guilty of stretching meter for limericks at times. Strictly, they're supposed to use anapests, but I've forced them into amphibrachs before. This is kind of mixed.

As to fitting the form, it works fine enough. I feel like there's a joke that's going over my head, though. I don't know what the significance of a giraffe named Clyde would be.

I can think of three giraffes in the Giraffe Canon named Clyde--which is not twenty, but still a lot!

I Like to Look Up at Them

This was mainly an exercise in constructing a limerick with rhymes for 'plenty'. It is otherwise silly nonsense. Thanks for reading!
