835. Out on a limn?

I try to post five lines per day,
But sadly, this site doesn't pay.
Should I publish a book
Read on paper or Nook?
Please comment: I'll heed what you say.


A good friend has had success by self-publishing a couple of novels.  This has me thinking there might be a market for my limericks.  I'm considering writing two books: Limericks, Lewd and Crude and Limericks, Clean and Pristine.  What think you?

  2. Thanks, Okie, and for once, I got all your puns!

    I HAVE cerfed the 'net and there is LOTS of competition already out there. Still, if you think buyers might come baring-gould to buy some new ones, I just might offer at least the Philthy compendium to the reading pubic.

  3. I have the folowing 3 books of limericks:

    The Lure of the Limerick by william s baring-gould
    A little Treasury of Limericks Fair and Foul by John Letts
    The Limerick by G. Legman

    If you've surfed you probably have found several others, so
    good luck with your own version

  4. Thanks, Anon. My statcounter tells me you are from Norwell, MA. I don't have the Letts book but own the others you mentioned. If you don't own Legman's "The New Limerick", you should! It has even more entries than his first one.

    Thanks for reading and commenting!
