Lorenzo Limericks

First appearing in England in the 1700s, and popularized by Edward Lear in the 19th century, limericks are often rude to the point of bawdy. Despite that George Bernard Shaw described clean limericks as “rarely rising above mediocrity”, Larry’s limericks offer great word play with PG-13 humor, although some must be read with a New York accent in order to rhyme.  These verses are mostly about domestic bliss with an elderly Maltese named Carina and her aging mommy and daddy.
