..well - it has gone from 1h45m "back in the day" to 16 minutes now. Barely enough to boil, brew and enjoy a nice cuppa let alone a power nap.

Hey Solaris, I'm afraid this doesn't meet the rules of a limerick. Try this format:

Line a) 8-10 syllables, final syllable rhymes with lines b) and e).
Line b) 8-10 syllables, final syllable rhymes with lines a) and e)
Line c) 5-7 syllables, final syllable rhymes with line d)
Line d) 5-7 syllables, final syllable rhymes with line c)
Line e) 8-10 syllables, final syllable rhymes with lines a) and b)

Hey Block9 - this is almost there, but doesn't quite fit the criteria for a limerick. Try this format:

Line a) 8-10 syllables, final syllable rhymes with lines b) and e).
Line b) 8-10 syllables, final syllable rhymes with lines a) and e)
Line c) 5-7 syllables, final syllable rhymes with line d)
Line d) 5-7 syllables, final syllable rhymes with line c)
Line e) 8-10 syllables, final syllable rhymes with lines a) and b)

It's chiefly the rhymes in lines c) and d) that need amending. 'Destroyed' doesn't rhyme with 'joy', and they should be different rhymes to a), b), and e).

A limerick on pirates, often told to children to scare them from starting a pirate's life... 😉

Assassinations and theft, piracy and war
Trying to get rich, the laws you just ignore
Raging through the bubble
Causing all the trouble
Then comes the Police, balancing the score.
