700 Limerick Lyrics - A Collection of Choice Humorous Versifications #232196

A writer in a western paper notes that this is the day of the limerick, and says of this popular form of nonsense verse that it possesses a Jingling rhythm which haunts the memory long after the measured sonorousness of an epic or the lilting melody of a lyric have departed. The writer is evidently under the delusion that all nonsense verses are limericks. Now, we can't give a dictionary definition of a limerick, for the reason that the word, for some unaccountable reason, isn't given; but at least we know one when we see one.
