Again—Edward Lear’s Limericks have been around for over 150 years, and not all of them contain place names.

Unless and until I see some authority denouncing his non-place-name Limericks as spurious (which I never have), and/or an authority which specifically insists that a place-name be included, I cannot accept the notion that lack of a place name renders a Limerick out of form.

Well, we must turn to the webs most authoritative voice for an answer: Limrickipedia.
