Review:

Historically, limericks are notoriously bawdy. Bennett Cerf, then head of the publishing firm, Random House, was asked how they chose the winner of their limerick contest. He said it was simple; they threw out all that were indecent and the winner was the one that was left.

Since Mr. Cerf and I are of the same persuasion, this book of limericks is clean, so you don't have to hide it from your kids. It has three additional features distinguishing it from other limerick books: it's illustrated; it's in hardcover with an enticing dust jacket, which makes it a very suitable gift; and, at $9.95, it's cheap. It is, in fact, $6.80 less than what it cost me to produce – which either makes me a lousy businessman or a fellow who likes to write this stuff for his own and others’ enjoyment. Or both.

Here's one of one hundred limericks:

NO WISER WORDS

 Said the wisest of men, Old King Saul,
“The truth of the matter, y'all,
Is one robin won't bring
The beginning of spring,
BUT one lark often signals a fall!” 

And if you don't just adore this book, III give you back your money. Promise.

        – John Price
