In
2011, I headed to Bloomington for a
fantastic five-day vacation, during which I toured sites related to my friend’s
father (as well as the Kinsey Institute). In 2015, I headed to London because his musical was supposed
to open, but he canceled it. Last week, I went back to Bloomington with Tim and
my high-school-BFF-producer friend and her husband and we all stayed with
Esther and we saw two of the four performances and were given a local tour by
my friend, the Man Himself.
This
is a preamble to two limericks, because I’ve had to attempt a few lately and I
haven’t had time to write anything else (no pantoum for you!). Yesterday I sent
them to my five friends as a thank you, because it really was a great trip.
Here is the first.

You're the limerick queen.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I honestly think you should put together a book of your limericks. Maybe it could be a coffee table-like (that's an en dash, not a hyphen, correct?) book with pictures to accompany each poem.
ReplyDeleteAs most of my clients go with Webster's, and as an adjective coffee table is hyphenated, it would be coffee-table-like book, with first a hyphen, then an en dash, or, if the house liked -like closed up, one could go with coffee-tablelike book, with just the hyphen.
DeleteAaacckkkk!!! (she screams as she lashes out violently at any punctuation within arm's reach.)
DeleteHeh heh.
DeleteOk limericks that are not ridiculous or dirty are so strange to me. And they are growing on me.
ReplyDeleteAgreeing with everyone above...but distracted, and rather frightened, by the hyphenation discussion! I certainly need an editor.
ReplyDeleteOy, the hyphen lesson made me forget what the limerick said.
