Brilliant!  +10

My nomination to this one for originality,
perfect meter (unlike many others posted so
far), and best of all for the fact that
it is not only a limerick on two levels
(run it for real or mentally and read the
output aloud), but its topic is also
self-referentially about limericks.

That's allowed since you're distributing this
(may I presume?) under the Poetic License.  ;-)
