Fax Spammer: A Limerick

Dear fax spammer, you don't seem bright.
Why send your fax spam overnight?
Cause everyone knows,
In the trash can it goes.
If it's there in the tray
When I come in today,
I'll discard "Free Vacation! Five Nights!"

Sorry, try #2:

Dear Faxer, the number, please check
You called our voice line, oh heck!
You're calling again
My ear is in pain
You make me a nervous wreck!

FAXER!!!!!!!!!!

I'm feeling guilty. I rhymed "overnight" with "five nights." That was a cop-out.

Ok, I wanna play too! But I need some directions...
First two lines rhyme, third and fourth rhyme, and then fifth rhymes with the first two? Is there some kind of meter I have to follow?

I think the official form is five lines:

A
A
B
B
A

I added a second couplet in the middle in mine:

A
A
B
B
C
C
A

Analyst, worry not about rhyme
You can't be perfect every time
Just pull out your pen
and try it again
Perhaps you'll find something sublime!

This morning my brain feels quite wooly
As if beat up by an overnight bully
Sorry, coffee won’t do
(That magical brew)
I’m afraid I cannot function fully
