Limericks for Life

This selection from Paul Rand's treasure trove of clever and funny limericks are sometimes mischievous and sometimes quirky, but always bound to entertain and you can probably read them to your mum. Paul Rand began making up limericks in the mid 1980's and he has been playing with words ever since. His first limerick was published in a Penguin Collection entitled A Dashing Young Tiger Named Jack, and followed two years later by a contribution to a 'Friends of the Earth' anthology called Great Green Limericks.
