The Long Large Limerick ‘War’ — Chapter 2
Wow, chapter 2 already? I’m still recovering from the nausea induced by chapter 1!
I knew that someday one of my good ideas would take off on Medium.
Instead, this one did. The Large Long Limerick War of 2021.
That’s life, as they say.
WTHAYGOAB*? You scream.
“Yes” I reply calmly, “Look at all the creativity that has already flowed, like beer (or its aftermath(s)) at a frat party.”

https://ttrueman.medium.com/50-damn-claps-for-the-doc-44fcc989049 I have no freakin’ idea why this link isn’t beautifully displayed like all the others.
But, as partial recompense for that slight and for all the nonsense he’s had to endure, here’s another one from Terry Trueman. https://ttrueman.medium.com/i-do-not-write-limericks-1c1b6ad97c5
Which predictably also failed to load properly. Sorry dude :-(
And last, but certainly not least, comes this gladiator-sized behemoth from the grand master of verse Will Hull (soon to be issuing a novel-length work composed entirely of limericks).
If I’ve missed your contribution to the brewing limerick “war”, my apologies. Please send me a hate-filled missive immediately and I’ll correct the oversight.
Tell your friends
Meanwhile, in the interests of keeping this madness going (and of driving Terry Trueman to distraction), I’m tagging all of you and asking you to please spread the word about this ooze to your “relational” friends who might want to join in the fun. Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她), Ann Marie Steele, Elise Paxson ☕️, Adelia Ritchie, Mary DeVries, Jennifer McDougall, Jupiter Grant, Skye Mo'ipulelehua Kahoali'i, Will Hull, Anthony O'Dugan.
If it’s over between us
If this thing has already run its course, we’ll find out soon enough.
Other limerick specialists
Also, these folks, found with the aid of the tag “limerick,” are invited to contribute. Dave Logan, Diya Saini, David Rudder, Joe Váradi, Megan Nicole Morgan, Pretheesh Presannan, Niru, Cynthia Hallett, Anthi Psomiadou, Mansoor Sahil, Aaron Kemp.
And, everyone else that I may have missed
So is everyone else … invited to contribute. If there’s a pub that features limericks, let us hear from you too.
