There was a young lady ... from the Mid-West? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

limerick

(Other definitions for limerick that I've seen before include "[EDWARD LEAR] work" , "Type of humorous verse" , "Witty poem from mid-western Irish city" , "Verse form - Irish city" , "Humorous poem from the Treaty City?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
