Stack of fruit in funny rhyme (8)
I believe the answer is:
limerick
'rhyme' is the definition.
(I know that limerick is a type of rhyme)
'stack of fruit in funny' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'stack' could be 'rick' (ricking is a kind of stacking) and 'rick' is located in the answer.
'fruit' could be 'lime' (lime is a kind of fruit) and 'lime' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for limerick that I've seen before include "City of humorous verse" , "Irish county - five-line poem" , "Humorous verse from the mid-West" , "Humorous short poem" , "port used in Ireland" .)
