Abstract
Limerick is a five line poem. It is meant to be funny. Yet, some limericks contain poetic devices which the present paper tries to prove. The present study sheds light on some sound stylistic features : assonance, onomatopoeia and pun in a collection of poems taken from different resources. The study shows that assonance is the most dominant poetic device in limericks which makes most of them rhythmic and easy to comprehend.
Key words: Limericks, assonance, onomatopoeia, pun.
