Limerick February

Ok I am taking the plunge and plogging in limerick this month.  I am absolutely terrified of this because limericks are really effing hard to write.  But anonymous reader who prodded me, you win.

Here are the rules of the limerick:
- Five Lines
- Rhyme scheme AABBA
- The first, second, and fifth line have three feet of three beats each
- The third and fourth lines have two feet of three beats each

I'm going to try to stick with those last two, but I may be a beat or so off.  This is going to be ridiculously difficult, so give me a break, please.  And there is some added nonsense about the emphasis in each foot of rhythm.  But if think I'm following that then please know I am no Shakespeare.

Plogging in limerick will be quite hard
I'm nothing like a modern day Bard.
But this 'blogger beater'
Is to please a reader
I'm hoping it won't leave me too scarred.
