    It's not formatted as a limerick, actually. Limericks have this rhyme patterm:
    AABBA
    For example:

    There once was a young lady named Bright,
    Who could travel far faster than light.
    She set off one day
    In a relative way
    And returned the preceding night.

    Now for your situation:

    There once was a gentleman on a flying trapeze
    Who, awkwardly, realized he needed to sneeze
    As she sailed to his arm
    though he wished her no harm,
    He said "Give me one moment, if you please."

      Yes, you are right. I should have remembered that from high school English. Thanks for educating me and thanks for the rewrite.
