The Recited Spates of Limericka (Revisited): A Collection of Humorous and Social Commentary Limericks by That Little Known Master of Rhyme-----------Martin C. Mayer

By MARTIN C. MAYER

The limerick form, we are told, originated with the Greeks. The popular enhancement of the form, however, came about through its extensive usage by English authors.

Limericks have been known to come in a number of varieties: risqu, suggestive and perfectly clean but not quite as humorous.

The author of this volume of limericks has blended all of these varieties into a collage of social commentary and fancy titillating, all designed to amuse you and hopefully, bring a smile to your cheeks, wherever they are!

MARTIN C. MAYER

Martin C. Mayer is a lifelong resident of the Garden State who migrated several years ago to Florida after spending sixteen years as a “snowbird” and maintaining residences in both states. He spends much of his retirement time churning out what he perceives to be socially redeeming opuses, most of them in the form of odes and limericks. His previous works include “POETRY OF MIDLIFE CRISES”, a product of early retirement and “THE RECITED SPATES OF LIMERICKA”, a collection of original humorous and social commentary limericks. Mr. Mayer lives in Palm Beach, Florida, is married and is the father to five children. He holds B.A. and J. D. degrees from Columbia University.
