About This Item
This is no ordinary book of easy limericks dashed off in five seconds and to be forgotten in ten. These are thoughtful, unbelievably clever, and gut busting limericks any Mother's son of a liberal will love. You may even say they sound like THE TRUTH.But be careful. The author who actually is a university instructor in critical reasoning gives you a bonus in an intriguing brief essay and even a helpful, critical thinking guide to contextualize limericks (and humor in general) for the intelligent person who might be inclined either to fall for the rhetoric, or, on the other hand, to dismiss limericks as "merely" rhetoric (They are, but ...)As a further bonus, the author (with tongue firmly in cheek) discusses in another brief essay the history and nature of limericks and provides a background of classic limericks (mostly anonymous but also including some Great Poets) to give you context and background to enhance your experience in reading Liberal Limericks.
