About the Book

But you just can't offend people like that!
Well, we don't expect thin-skinned moralists or religionists, or even political right-leaners to enjoy these limericks. But that leaves a lot of us to savor some good-humored swipes at dominant figures and mores.
Here are some versified musings by one who's been around the block, and is ready to unburden himself of some residue of his prejudices, passions, and jaundiced observations.
He'd love to think that this collection might prod others to enlist whimsical measures to share theirs.


About the Author

Does a retired university professor/psychologist's background quality him as a writer of limericks? Seems doubtful, but who can tell the source of the light verse muse? It's afflicted his otherwise sane retirement with his wife Mary in sunny California, after most of a lifetime in frigid, but wonderful Vermont.
