Genny, how about the following?
"The business of digitalisation
Is something of a complication
To keep from diaster
We follow the master
simple - clear - iteration"

I'm afraid the "limerick" (and Lear's creations aren't always a good example) doesn't work - the scansion is wrong and the first, second and last lines need to rhyme with each other (they don't), and the third and fourth with each other (they do). The best ones have a different word at the end of each line. For example:
"There was a young lady from Wight,
Who travelled much faster than light.
She set out one day
In the relative* way
And returned on the previous night."
(* neat reference to theory of relativity, which is the point of the limerick)
A good idea though!
