There once was a limerick from kent and had it changed from tisane that all out of shape as she hated the name the very day she came into her own

This is not a Limerick. And you are illiterate.

This is not a limerick? On what grounds do you base that? The fact that it doesn't rhyme? Well in that case, how do you account for this well-known accepted non-rhyming limerick:

There was an old man of St. Bees
Who was horribly stung by a wasp
When they said: 'Does it hurt?'
He replied: 'No it doesn't -
It's a good job it wasn't a hornet'

So, despite fulfilling the rhythmic requirement of a limerick, and containing the requisite Lear-esque nonsensical subject, it is not, in fact, a limerick?

Interesting subversion. The grammar looks a bit convoluted. Don't get l4.

I honestly don't have a clue what I was doing here. I barely have a glimmer of memory of writing it. I'm sure there was a gimmick?

Yep, it's a limerick from Kent.
