Light Verse & Limericks

About the Book

LIGHT VERSE AND LIMERICKS is a compilation of my poetry that I found humorous over the last sixty years. It is an attempt on my part to see the world through laughing eyes, to put a touch of whimsy into words, and to bring smiles to anyone who happens to read my lines. Laziness and lack of funds are the villains I name for keeping me from publication before this. My intention now is to get these poems into book form so, possibly, my wife, Glenda, won't burn them when I die, and to satisfy a sixty year desire to have a book of my own within my library.
