Limerick Day

Limerick Day is May 12th! This holiday is observed on the birthday of one of its champions, Edward Lear. The limerick, which dates from the early 18th century, has been described as the "only fixed verse form indigenous to the English language." It gained its greatest popularity following the publication of Edward Lear's Book of Nonsense (and its sequels), which contained many limericks like the one below.

For this kind of stuff

Make a limerick each day of the year.

If you are interested in exploring the art and history of the limerick, check out the following titles from your hometown library.
