Download or read book Living with Limericks written by Garrison Keillor and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-15 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radio personality and author Garrison Keillor delights and astounds in this hybrid memoir/poetry collection that combines anecdotes from his childhood and his "A Prairie Home Companion" years with literary limericks, darkly humorous limericks, extended limericks (aka limericks with porches), and so much more. Limericks are the poems that can be written in the empty spaces between life, Keillor posits, and this compact book illustrates the full range of the form's utility: thank-you notes to doctors, odes to "Prairie Home" performers, postcard greetings from exotic places, succinct biographies of favorite writers, and scribbles in the margins of Sunday church programs. Readers who have always pined for the perfect limerick hinging on the place name "Schenectady" will at long last be placated. Meanwhile, longtime Keillor fans will gain insight into a whole new side of the bestselling author, whose obsession with limericks goes all the way back to when the bespectacled, lanky youth wearing hand-me-down jeans (from his sister) recited to his Anoka High School class: There was a young man of Anoka Who tried to write a great limerick. He tried and he tried And some were not bad, But something seemed to be missing.
Download or read book dirty little limericks written by M.K. Danaher and published by Running Press. This book was released on 2008-01-29 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Get down and dirty with limericks that hold nothing back. After all, clean-cut fun just can't compare to a good roll in the mud (or the hay, in the case of these poems). This presents all the classic dirty ditties-including the man from Nantucket and the lady from Crewe (if you're new to limericks, just imagine what sort of words you can rhyme with these two Irish cities and you'll have a feel for where these lewd lines are heading)-along with some hilarious new friends from around the world. The rhyming fun includes a spectrum of clever obscenities, tawdry topics, and crazy collusions; it's poetry adults can finally enjoy. Since this wild form of verse began in Limerick, Ireland, there's enough Irish flair thrown in to make this edition a great read for St. Patrick's Day or any day, especially over a pint. “The limerick packs laughs anatomical Into space that is quite economical, But the good ones I've seen So seldom are clean, And the clean ones so seldom are comical.” -Anonymous
