There was a news story back East about one homeowner's destruction of some of his neighbor's trees to clear his view...

...of the ocean. It merited a limerick:

There once was a Dick named Jacoby
whose motto equated to "Blow me!"
'Twixt his house and the seas,
he cut down some trees
to clear 'his' horizons corruptly.


Is there a style of poem in which each stanza is a limerick? If so, what is that style
of poem called?

(Paronomastically,) a broderick?
