Answer:
Syllable count does not matter in a limerick, but the rhyme scheme does. A limerick must follow the scheme aabba. For example:
Look at the sea! How it fills me with glee Beautiful and blue Seashells too! Too bad I hurt my knee!
syllable count does actually matter its the key to the poem!\
um, excuse me, but first person who answered, you are incorrect... the syllable count does matter in a limerick, as does the rhyme!
