The rhyme scheme of the limerick is AABBA. The first, second and fifth lines rhyme with each other, while the third and fourth lines share a different rhyme. This pattern gives the limerick its rhythmic and humorous sound.

    1. The rhyme scheme of the limerick is AABBA, where lines 1, 2 and 5 rhyme and lines 3 and 4 form a separate rhyming pair. This classic pattern helps create a light, bouncy rhythm that suits funny and nonsensical verses. In the poem about the man with a beard, words like beard, feared and beard rhyme (A), while Hen and Wren rhyme separately (B). This structure enhances the playful, musical quality that makes limericks enjoyable and easy to remember.
