Limericks

What is nice about this book is that it is not embarassed to include bawdy limericks among the others but never for bawdiness's sake alone. Bawdiness is NOT a prerequisite of a good limerick. Cleverness IS - and this book has collected a large number of entertaining and clever 5-liners, all with glorious punch lines. I was also pleased to be introduced by the book to a number of variations of the limerick form, such as the double limerick and the limeraiku, a combination of the limerick and the haiku forms.Great stuff - highly recommended!
