222 FREE-VERSE **Bits** only slightly may fail to be absolutely in any and every generally perceived as 'normal' tradition of modern Free Verse. The individual offerings are, on a sort of average, quite, quite brief. Rhyme definitely 'intrudes' sometimes, but Meter really and truly seems highly toward absolutely ruled out. [[Some 'sample Matter' could be the following: AMUSEMENTS
Favorite activities must
include a trip to the sea.
Other fun things embrace
jaunts to the movies.
Several of my friends
quaver like popes. When
the ocean is near, we
share the cardinal sin,
a bath. PINK
From any angle the sky
may be seen as as roseate
as the approach of spring.
Under the hanging basket
I've sat and twiddled my thumbs.
Those have remained pink-
or at least as softly like
disorganized courtesy
as some tweeters may be.]]

250 Recent (And Overly Decent?) Limericks is an evidently protracted attempt. The attempt is toward something like formal excellence. The form-in-question is (let's say) valid English, whereas the limerick form remains merely adventitious. Here beneath are a couple of sample limericks-and don't they manage to sweep along somewhat ridiculously? HELLO Hello and good-bye, little world of seeming to stay boyed and girled in manners and fashions whose finite new passions invite each ripe dream to seem swirled. GUITARS Guitars were restrumming themselves while waiting for happier shelves than visit the deadly new forms of a medley created by sleigh-bells and elves. A truly sincere and very profound hope might be that the entire collection could be savorable as individuations and as an aggregate.

THE LIMERICK FORM, WE ARE TOLD, IS AN INVENTION OF THE GREEKS. THE ENHANCEMENT OF THE LIMERICK FORM, HOWEVER, CAME ABOUT THROUGH ITS EXTENSIVE USAGE BY ENGLISH AUTHORS. LIMERICKS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO COME IN MANY VARIETIES OF RISQUE, SUGGESTIVE, AND PERFECTLY CLEAN BUT NOT QUITE AS FUNNY. THE AUTHOR OF THIS VOLUME OF LIMERICKS HAS BLENDED ALL OF THESE VARIETIES INTO A COLLAGE OF SOCIAL COMMENTARY DESIGNED TO AMUSE YOU AND, HOPEFULLY, BRING A SMILE TO YOUR CHEEKS, WHEREVER THEY ARE!

"I'm on a seafood diet...whenever I see food, I eat it!!!" "You got a haircut?...I thought you had your ears lowered!!!" "Are you fishing?...or just drowning worms!!!" ...and countless more of those laughable knee-slappers, groaners, and one-liners that may have been funny the first time...or were they?

English is a funny language. Consider: Would you call church music organic? How come it's father, mother, brother, but not sisther? Why do doctors use a scalpel when they're not operating on your head? Would you say that an engraver is a cemetery worker? Isn't it macabre that slaughter is mostly laughter? Wouldn't it seem that the opposite of formality should be casualty? Don't sheep have to be deranged before shearing? Here is a humorous collection of over 1,000 English words-a veritable encyclopedia-including goofinitions, mock antonyms, collective nouns, hyphens, punishing adjectives, bundle words and much more. This is a must-have volume for comedians, speech writers, punsters, toastmasters, English teachers, and all students of language.

Forget the title of one of Robert Dunn's previous books, Cannon Fodder. His poems aren't that. It's just Mr. Dunn being humble again. They're real gems. For example, "'Fig Leaf Rag: Adam and Eve, when banished from Eden/donned their finest traveling fig leaves. /If it had been revenge-hungry me, /I'd have worn snakeskin.'" His humor and craftsmanship are a perfect blend. His poems weren't just written to make you laugh-though they accomplish that non-stop-but also to shake up your view of reality. Robert replaces philosophy with common sense, like in "'On Pragmatism': A metaphysical editor once asked me/to contribute a serious essay/on the philosophy of Pragmatism./ I thought better of it." My mind definitely worked better after reading a heavy dose of one of the most entertaining and yet serious poets, Robert Dunn. -Hal Sirowitz
