One listener followed up our discussion of classic literary passages turned into limerick form by writing one of his own, a baseball-themed poem that begins, “There once was a batter named Casey.” This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Listener Baseball Limerick”
We put the call out for limerizations, those passages in literature converted into limerick form.
And John Fisher came up with one. He’s from San Antonio. He writes,
There once was a batter named Casey who would cinch Mudville’s win prima facie,
But he swung twice and missed, then after patrons there hissed, swung again, but did not get on Basie.
Brilliant, right?
Brilliant.
Very good.
Send us your limerizations to words@waywordradio.org
Or call us.
