All and all, limericks are pretty much outdated these days. There are very few people who write new ones. Also, while limerick is an old form of poetry, there are many people in the English speaking world who continue to recite dirty limericks on a regular basis. If you want to know more about the origin of limericks/ how to write them, etc the Wikipedia page is actually quite informative and accurate (which isn't always the case).
