Limerosity is an anapestic journey, a collection of limericks inspired by well-known figures in the (mostly) western literary canon. From the Author:A limerick is a verse form-five lines of generally iambic or anapestic verse, with a rhyme scheme of AABBA. The origin of the limerick is a bit of a mystery, though it may be fairly recent as verse forms go. The form seems to have crystallized with Edward Lear and W. S. Gilbert in the Nineteenth century.I have modified the standard form a bit, eliminating punctuation and right justifying the lines. I think of the limerick as a verse form, not a poem. Verse has a beginning and an ending, and leads the reader to a conclusion. A poem does not. Limericks, and this may be one of the secrets to their popularity over the years, are a perfect expression of comic construction. So, as you read these limericks, possibly you may discover some literary intention. But mostly I hope you uncover a few smiles.
