Physics

Of Physics

"And I heard loss of physics," whispered Kit Cat in his guise.
Of risky rat
Or frisky cat
depends our own unjustified, unherdable demise.

What's the standard meter for limericks? Does this one count as a "twenty-fiver"? A "quarter-century limerick"?

I don't know anything technical - I just play by ear. That said, I've heard said that the limerick works with the trochaic, not the iambic.
