No "clean" limericks need apply,
By Tubarick "Tubarick" (North Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Limerick (Hardcover)
I found this book after I had read "Rationale of the Dirty Joke". As a fan of this poetic form, I have scanned many collections of limericks, but his has to be, by far, the most comprehensive. The introduction explains the origin of the limerick, and the following chapters categorize the limericks by topic, such as excrement, zoophily, abuses of the clergy, organs, etc. The Man from Nantucket, Alice and her dynamite stick and Dave the Hermit are present and accounted for, plus some multi-limerick sagas such as the Farter from Sparta. What you will NOT find is the "Lady from Niger", the "Lady from Guam", and the clean "Man from Nantucket". I have seen a shorter, less complete book attributed to G. Legman. Don't bother with that one- this is the book to have.
