Download or read book A Natural History of Insects in 100 Limericks written by Richard Jones and published by Pelagic Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insects are often overlooked because they are small or ignored because they are deemed trivial, and many are dismissed as nuisance pests. But their numbers and diversity are mind-numbing, and under even a modest hand lens they are beautiful or bizarre. Insects dominate the centre ground of all terrestrial and most aquatic ecosystems. They inform us of the conservation value of ancient woodland and chalk downland. They help monitor the purity or pollution levels of ponds, streams and rivers. And they can demonstrate the effects of climate change, acting as warning lights to alert us to the damage that humans are doing to the world. Recent insectageddon headlines are starting to make people sit up and take more notice. What better way to promote an interest in these fascinating creatures than by poetizing them? This cornucopia of discordant nonsense, with some quite frankly dubious rhyming clashes, is offered up so that entomological outreach will at least benefit from their shock value.
Download or read book Limericks written by Ray Allen Billington and published by W. W. Norton. This book was released on 1981 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is divided into several parts: the historical uses of the limerick, concentrating on the American frontier and on World War II; limericks assembled from the files of the Society of the Fifth Line, and organization of scholars whose job it is to produce an original verse for each meeting of the membership; samples of the classic limerick form, some original, some contributed, some culled from published and unpublished collections; and an assortment of limericks that reflect the limerick's role as a mirror of social change. In the arrangement of the material, Billington could not resist inflict[ing] my academic standards in an area where art should reign, using chapter headings, explanations, some variant readings, and such footnotes as needed to make the page unattractive.

Download or read book Perverted Poets written by Mad Comedy and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-29 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The limerick, a form of doggerel poetry that arose from an ancient folk art, has an immediately recognizable form and rhythm -- and vulgarity - that has charmed audiences for centuries: Limericks are art forms complex, Their topics run chiefly to sex. They usually have virgins, And masculine urgings, And other erotic effects. Inside this book are hundreds of the most famous - and famously dirty - limericks ever collected, with an exploration of the history of this ribald art form. This book also endeavors to teach the reader to create their own limericks, but with a warning: The limerick's structure somewhat necessitates eloquent smut. If you haven't the time to learn meter and rhyme, then don't write them, you ignorant slut.

Download or read book Once Upon a Rhyme written by Antony L. Saragas and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2020-09-10 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is not about poetry, even though the title and limericks sprinkled within might lead you to that notion. This book is not about sports, though many of the characters connect as coaches or teammates. This book is not even about a father and son, even though it deals with a man and his recently deceased father. This is a familiar tale of family, friendship, community, loss, and the renewal of faith. Even though the book takes place over the course of only one week, its message delves deeply into life and living. We all question the usefulness of our past, the course of our present, and—on our more challenging days—the point of our future. We wonder about the significance of our efforts. In other words, this book poses the question we often ignore through activity, defy with arrogance, or accept as unanswerable: “What’s the point?” In the vein of film classic It’s a Wonderful Life, author Antony Saragas reminds you that life is worth living and that sometimes your friends and family are your angels.
