There was an old man of Peru,
Whose Limericks all end at line two.

And the last one in that series is about the Emperor Nero, but I can never remember how it goes...

[ There was an old man
Of Peru, whose lim'ricks all
Look'd like haiku. He

Said with a laugh, "I
Cut them in half, the pay is
Much better for two."

is the defining example of a joke that only works written down. ]
