Reviews

[Michael Fitzgerald · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not so impressive. I've long felt that limericks that repeat the first line as the last (or use the exact same ending words) are cheating. Yes, I know that even Lear does it. But it's so much more satisfying to have a surprise at the finish.

Published in 1980, I picked this up from Ranfurly Library for a quick holiday read. Ranfurly Library receives donated books from Sydney schools for sorting, packing and shipping to the Pacific Islands. It is a hard cover book of limericks with cute illustrations. It's fun and wierd if you want a distraction.
