from the mailbag

Yes, I can write limericks. As it happens, I had occasion to improvise a couple this week. No, I rarely do, and I don't think the local paper would be interested. Perhaps Posterity will publish my occasional verses as the final volume of my Collected Works. After all the Major Poems, of course.

I get some very odd emails.

Maybe someone loves limericks more than anything else.

You know; folksy.

I should beware of the man who loves limericks more than anything else.

I could not love thee, dear, so much,
Loved I not limericks more

is no way to woo.
