There LIVES / near the EDGE / of a TOWN,
A GIRL / who I've NE / ver seen FROWN,
Her BEAU / ty un EQualled,
There CAN / be no SEquel,
So, WILL you go OUT / with me NOW? -- feet made of two unaccented syllables followed by an accented syllable are called anapests.

The following is a well-known limerick by Edward Lear. It not only adds extra syllables to 3 & 4 (like yours) but also to 1, 2, & 5:

"There was an Old Man of Moldavia,
Who had the most curious behaviour;
For while he was able,
He slept on a table,
Until he found water beds wavier."

Edward Lear is, by the way, the most famous and prolific limericist ever.
