Oh yes. Much better to make up a new word than fit a square word into a round hole.

That would require a more flexible poet than I. I can't write imperfect rhymes without serious conscience pangs. ;-)

I was going to try, but couldn't find a third word to rhyme. And using screwery and brewery on the third and fourth lines would be like giving away a joke's punchline too soon.

And I'd presume a brewery would be involved in that limerick.... ;-)

It's fun to type, too. Good exercise for the left hand.
