Radio personality and author Garrison Keillor delights and astounds in this hybrid memoir/poetry collection that combines anecdotes from his childhood and his "A Prairie Home Companion" years with literary limericks, darkly humorous limericks, extended limericks (aka limericks with porches), and so much more. Limericks are the poems that can be written in the empty spaces between life, Keillor posits, and this compact book illustrates the full range of the form's utility: thank-you notes to doctors, odes to "Prairie Home" performers, postcard greetings from exotic places, succinct biographies of favorite writers, and scribbles in the margins of Sunday church programs. Readers who have always pined for the perfect limerick hinging on the place name "Schenectady" will at long last be placated. Meanwhile, longtime Keillor fans will gain insight into a whole new side of the bestselling author, whose obsession with limericks goes all the way back to when the bespectacled, lanky youth wearing hand-me-down jeans (from his sister) recited to his Anoka High School class: There was a young man of Anoka Who tried to write a great limerick. He tried and he tried And some were not bad, But something seemed to be missing.

Love, Life, and Laughter in Limericks is a book of short poems that express insights, wisdoms, and sometimes humor. Each section starts with an explanation of a philosophical view of the author and many of the categorized limericks reflect and expand on those views. The book also has an extra section, toward the end, that contains several types of poetry, including non-limerick poems reflecting unique thoughts and ideas. Many, of the over 600 poems, deliver deep inspirational messages that can be viewed as quite thought stimulating, while others are more proverbial. And there are still others that can produce smiles and an occasional belly laugh with their wit and humor. The book holds many easy to read poems that should provide several hours of enjoyment.

A new topical, but light-hearted, collection of limericks. Some of the selected verses may deal with the serious news, but all are filled with irony and good humor in the true limerick tradition. Many of the poems offer a fresh look at simple human nature and social trends including the evolution of language. The sports and entertainment pages are also covered with good fun. Lovers of whimsical poetry will find a bonus chapter on just what makes the ideal limerick. A must for those who enjoy writing their own. -A recommended addition to every limerick enthusiast's library.- - Reginald T. O'Leary, Dublin Limerick Society

This book is not about poetry, even though the title and limericks sprinkled within might lead you to that notion. This book is not about sports, though many of the characters connect as coaches or teammates. This book is not even about a father and son, even though it deals with a man and his recently deceased father. This is a familiar tale of family, friendship, community, loss, and the renewal of faith. Even though the book takes place over the course of only one week, its message delves deeply into life and living. We all question the usefulness of our past, the course of our present, and—on our more challenging days—the point of our future. We wonder about the significance of our efforts. In other words, this book poses the question we often ignore through activity, defy with arrogance, or accept as unanswerable: “What’s the point?” In the vein of film classic It’s a Wonderful Life, author Antony Saragas reminds you that life is worth living and that sometimes your friends and family are your angels.

Edward Lear made the form popular for children, and Anon wrote the great dirty limericks, and Garrison Keillor does both while pushing the limerick envelope. E.g. Here is a yawp for old Walt Whitman, who’s well worth his salt Though sometimes he’ll slip And just let her rip And say: “Camerados! What is this blade of grass? Who am I? Who are you?” And you have to say HALT. Of course he deals in the vulgar. And the semi-salacious: Chopin wrote a lovely etude That, when performed in the nude By a mademoiselle Who plays fairly well Can certainly uplift the mood. Many are educational, including his 26-limerick abecedary for English majors. And also: The Confederate general Bob E. Lee Committed treason quite freely And General Grant Beat him up cause you can’t Attack federal troops...I mean really. He’s written limericks in honor of friends, members of the New York Philharmonic, his daughter’s teachers, a quintuple for Emily Dickinson, and one for his ophthalmologist. My eye surgeon, good Dr. Khanna, Looked through her eyepiece down on a Novelist’s retina Who thought he was gettin’ a Vision of the blessed Madonna. Woven through the verses are terse reflections on daily life, work, faith, and the old man of St. Paul whose office was a toilet stall.

The idea for this book of limericks came about pretty much out of nowhere one day while lunching with several good "buddies." Thanks Carl, Ed, Richard, et al.! We all had reminiscences about life in general and our experiences growing up and in our work. I was surprised how often my memories came out in a rhyme. Throughout the course of writing these limericks, I found that many of them popped into my head at bedtime or upon rising in the morning. They cover all aspects of life, both humorous and words to live by. It is my hope that they will provide humor to some and inspiration to others. One note of caution, the first names used in my limericks are not meant to reflect upon any family member or acquaintance. I dedicate this book to my "big sister," Loma; my mother, who passed away in 1999, and several siblings (and cousin Garth) who, in one way or another, prompted me to publish this book.

A Description of this Booklet If you look up "limericks" in the dictionary, you'll find a definition that mentions words like "humorous", "bawdy", and "frequently funny". This form of poetry lends itself very well to short story telling. The verses are a single stanza of AABBA. The first line, second line, and fifth line all rhyme and are longer than the third and fourth lines, which are half as long and rhyme with each other. Humor is universal. Laughter (via sarcasm, bursts of levity, and satire are the stuff that limericks are made of!) Where would we be, if we could not laugh at ourselves? I have illustrated my limericks to boost the grins of the readers. My material is drawn from a lifetime of observation. It is hard for me to take a daily walk, and not see a limerick, somewhere along the way, screaming to be written down and illustrated! Thanks to: Felicia Rose and her "Can Do" attitude and dedication; Katharine Faust, EdM, J.D. for her publication "Know How"; Christopher Mackle for his "Wizardry" for turning my pages into docx
