There was a young man named Doe
Who proved an implacable foe
He argued ferociously
And behaved atrociously
Until shooting himself in the toe!

limerick, n.
a kind of humorous verse of five lines, in which the first, second, and fifth lines rhyme with each other, and the third and fourth lines, which are shorter, form a rhymed couplet.
couplet, n.
1. a pair of successive lines of verse, esp. a pair that rhyme and are of the same length.
So yes, I would say it is a limerick.

Thank you.
I haven't been inside a classroom since 1986.

Dear snowbird I fear you are straying,
my senses are bound in relaying,
the matter, so simple
this here makes a triple.
Why must you do so much braying?

You do fancy yourself, don't you?

Is this like the song, You're So Vain where Carly Simon sings, "You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you..."
Well, isn't it?

No, it's about an obnoxious young man who happens to be named Doe.
