Limericks: Too Gross

Ciardi and Asimov are favored writers.

Time to start buying up these books, before the sci-fi world memory-holes Asimov.The bantering Foreword exchanges between Asimov and John Ciardinare priceless.

I laughed often reading these limericks and was even inspired to write a few of my own. Asimov was a very lusty guy and I liked his effort more than Ciardi. This book was a competition between these two friends and colleagues and the premiss is very enjoyable, especially the introduction.

It was supposedly a duel by two men who did not care for one another. But you could tell there was a friendship between them. It's better than Assimov's Lecherous Limericks and I did enjoy a few of the limericks. Maybe I'm just not a limerick fan.

laugh everytime I open this

Disappointed in the limericks,too tame, and clearly lacked thecreativity I was looking for in limericksby these two literary giants.

As with much of Asimov's shorter work,I enjoyed this partly because it is very punny.John Ciardi appears to be a good match for Asimov wit,and the reader should enjoy the book as did both the authors.

I found it disappointing. Somehow, it doesn't suit my tastes.

Asimov is always a treat.
