Limericks typically have an anapestic meter, and some of the recent ones here don't. I know this is Middle-earth mirth,and we like to have fun, but considering this is a limericks topic, everyone should post only limericks.

Moral of the story: Make sure your posts here really are or strongly resemble limericks.

Thank you.

P.S. Since this is a limerick topic, I'd better include one.

Some dwarves and a hobbit together
Set out into inclement weather
To be caught on the Porch
And escape from the torch
But become 15 birds of a feather.
