Sobre IBD

The limerick form, we are told, originated with the Greeks. The popular enhancement of the form, however, came about through its extensive usage by English authors.Limericks have been known to come in a number of varieties: risqué, suggestive and perfectly clean but not quite as humorous.The author of this volume of limericks has blended all of these varieties into a collage of social commentary and fancy titillating, all designed to amuse you and hopefully, bring a smile to your cheeks, wherever they are!
