amusedLimericks About Books Seanan Loves Dearly.
IT:
Poor Georgie ran after his boat;
The clown said 'down here, we all float'.
Now Stuttering Bill
Has a monster to kill,
Or It's certain to tear out his throat!
Fire and Hemlock:
Don't put a book down on its face,
Or trust men who come from That Place.
Gran tried hard to advise,
But our Pol wasn't wise,
And got caught in a fairy-time race.
The Stand:
A sniffle, a cough, and a sneeze,
And the whole world is brought to its knees.
God said 'no more rain,'
But why should he refrain
From deluging the world with disease?
The Dark Tower (full series):
No mortal hands this Tower rose
In the fields where the universe grows.
Now Roland must wander
From home to the yonder
To learn what he already knows.
Mirabile:
Don't tie DNA up in bows;
You can't control just where it goes,
And you will be vexed
When you're Kangaroo Rex'd.
Genetics should not be freak shows.
On Writing:
Slaughter your darlings, my friends;
Let adverbs seek swift, messy ends.
Whatever is uttered,
Use 'said' and not 'muttered,'
And follow the tale where it bends.
Limerick me! I want to see what the twisted minds of the rest of the world can produce. Also, I find this funny.

The His Dark Materials Trilogy by Philip Pullman.
The Golden Compass
A compass that points to the truth;
For stolen children Lyra'll sleuth
With her Gyptian friends,
And ere story ends
An armored bear lends claw and tooth.
The Subtle Knife
Lyra, Pan, and Will find a knife
Whose edge severs more than just life:
Between worlds they go,
But they cannot know
Their cutting will compound their strife.
The Amber Spyglass
With spyglass can dust Mary see,
While Lyra and Will the dead free:
Our worlds they do cure,
Only to endure
A true love that can never be.
