No. Funny question, though.
"The Man from Nantucket" is just the most well-known example of a limeric. A limerick is any poem that follows the rhyme pattern A A B B A. They usually funny, as well.
A limerick has only five lines,
Much like this poem of mine.
It need not have that word,
Despite what you may have heard,
But if you include it, that's fine.

There once was a lady from Siam
Who said to her lover, young Kiam
You can kiss me of course,
but you'll have to use force.
But lord knows you're stronger than I am.
Nope I guess not :) (my favorite limerick by the way)

Not really. It's just the most obvious one. Most people can immediately think of things that rhyme with "Nantucket".

Whoever "Horatio" is, he seems to have a lot of fun in various limericks.
