✦ Synopsis

250 Recent (And Overly Decent?) Limericks is an evidently protracted attempt. The attempt is toward something like formal excellence. The form-in-question is (let's say) valid English, whereas the limerick form remains merely adventitious.Here beneath are a couple of sample limericks-and don't they manage to sweep along somewhat ridiculously?HELLOHello and good-bye, little worldof seeming to stay boyed and girledin manners and fashionswhose finite new passionsinvite each ripe dream to seem swirled.GUITARSGuitars were restrumming themselveswhile waiting for happier shelvesthan visit the deadlynew forms of a medleycreated by sleigh-bells and elves.A truly sincere and very profound hope might be that the entire collection could be savorable as individuations and as an aggregate.
