Hooray, hooray, it's Limerick Day! The day of limerick-y goodness! You may recall last year's Limerick Day celebration, which included limerick versions of many classic poems. Then again, you may not. Regardless, this year, I've decided to do something slightly more...interactive...for Limerick Day. Suggest a book, story, or poem that you'd like to see rendered in horrible tawdry limerick form, and watch the magic unfold! The horrifying magic.
I can't promise to limerick every suggestion, and I will eventually lose interest, but it's a party! Let's celebrate!
Thanks. Limericks I can do, they are the only form of structured poetry which comes naturally to me (stressed and alliterated poetry, as in AngloSaxon and Norse, are my preferences). (An awful lot of hymns are actually in limerick form for some reason...)
I haven't read Atlas Shrugged for probably around 15 years; oddly the first time I read it there was a railway strike when I was in the middle of the book, it was definitely creepy...

A very Libertarian friend of mine once told me, "The only thing wrong with John Galt's speech is that radios have an 'off' switch." ^_^
