Okay, I thought up a second stanza for my limerick. And a third one. They grow progressively less good, but that's because what I want to get grows more limited.

"At Least 14 Lines Long: A Three-Stanza Limerick"

A young AP student named Seth
Did once read a play called MacBeth.
A Shakespeare it was,
And so, just because,
The ending was riddled with death.

Another play that he had read
Was Hamlet. And often he said,
"It's tragedy, yes?
And so, you can guess,
That everyone winds up as dead."

King Lear is an old man who tries
To rule fair and justly, but lies
From his two evil daughters
Who ought to be slaughtered
Fool him; he goes mad and dies.
