I like it Meatball!
It isn't a Limerick though. Limericks are five lines and follow an AABBA rhyme scheme:

What you wrote is called a quatrain with an AABA rhyme scheme that conforms to the rubaiyat form.

Quote:Most rhyme schemes are described using letters that correspond to sets of rhymes, so if the first, second and fourth lines of a quatrain rhyme with each other and the third line does not rhyme, the quatrain is said to have an "a-a-b-a" rhyme scheme. This rhyme scheme is the one used, for example, in the rubaiyat form.
