There once was a man named Amandil,
Who went to sea just like Earendil.
But his people were saved,
From the King, depraved,
By his tall son called Elendil.
And yet I think a limerick is supposed to be (or is more often than not) defined by vulgar humor.
Old Sam and Rosie got married,
Upon their honeymoon they tarried.
The Old Forest near Buckland,
All went just as planned.
But Sam harped on 'bout the nut he buried.
There was a noble elf named Celeborn,
Whose wife gave him scorn upon scorn.
He climbed up a tree,
And met a girl from Bree,
Who helped him to polish his horn.
A hobbit named Bob lost his denture,
He lamented before his trencher.
A lass winked from her hole,
She had buttered a roll,
And lunch became an adventure.
