An inventive idea for a quiz. In limerick five, the rhyme is a trifle forced. How about finishing it off thus: "We like to expand, From our own native land, Well into Armenia, at least"?

In #9, I think you mean to say "homey". "Homely" means unattractive.

Really? In which variety of English? Here in Ireland it means comfy, cosy, like a home.

In American English, homely is more commonly used in a derogatory fashion—describing someone as such means that they look plain, or unattractive as kawow said.

this was awesome! Although Limerick #8's first line has too many syllables? Or am I just saying it in the wrong accent?
