2.0 out of 5 stars A sexologist cum poet....I don't think so, June 10, 2002

By	Casper Paludan (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews

Having always liked limericks, and especially the more uninhibited kind, i bought this book as the title seemed to match that genre. I was, however, quite disappointed with most of them. There are a few good ones but most are just embarrassing. Reading the author's credentials made me realize a probable cause. He is a sexologist with "30 years of clinical experience". Hey, we're not makling a patient study here....

Anyway, I highly recommend this curious art form, but get something from a writer, and not from someone who, in his effort to approach this juicy subject matter in a direct way, makes you wish he had written around it instead of straight in it.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT FUN, January 13, 1999

By A Customer

Lots of chuckles and a few good belly laughs. Not a book that you want to read all at once, but if you pick it up once in a while and read a few, you'll find most of the limericks are fun and most quite bawdy. I'm buying a couple copies to give as gifts.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun peek into the bawdy and whimsical world of Limericks, January 7, 1999

By A Customer

This book offers a fun peek into the bawdy, the whimsical, and the often absurd world of limericks. Bob's verses take a good-natured poke at the numerous situations, tales, and observations he has created, mostly based on various elements and aspects of human sexuality. I recommend it to any adult who can appreciate this type of humor.
