INTRODUCTORY COMMENTS:

A limerick' a verse that is singable

(If the diction's not flagrantly flingable),

Brings a humorous note

To a view you'd promote -- 

And it rings, like a bell ding-alingable.

Giorgio Coniglio. 

EXPLANATION:

The lyrics describe an imaginary workshop conducted by Leigh Mercer, during which the iconic canal palindrome is almost invented.
