Limerick

Lovely stuff.

To dig in a bit deeper into something I mentioned there, I've still got that book of Spike Milligan's Limericks.

And here was my take on it when I went back to it recently and re-read it.

Right, I'm up in the top office with the window open, so maybe birdsong in the background.

Got it.

And I've also, crucially, got in front of me the very book that Dad got me for my 19th birthday.

The 101 Best and Only Limericks of Spike Milligan, illustrated by Desmond Milligan.

and it's published by Michael Joseph Limited in 1982 and I remember having quite mixed feelings about this book because I did find some of it very funny but also I was a bit kind of upset by some of it being quite sort of racist and anti-Semitic and so on.
