WORD-SOURCE: Limericks About ETYMOLOGY #1


SATIRE COMPOSED: Giorgio Coniglio,  2018. The involved verses have also been published at OEDILF.com, an online humour dictionary that has accumulated over 100,000 carefully edited limericks. Owing to the considerable number of verses, this theme is continued in later posts. 

SONGLINK: For those readers who like poetry set to music: You can find lots of singable limerick medleys on our sister blog "SILLY SONGS and SATIRE". 

By the way, to find more limericks, or any other search target on either of these 2 blogs, use the SEARCH-FUNCTION found at the top of the righthand margin.

GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR WEB-EXPLORERS: 
To resume the sequence of daily titillations on our related blog "Daily Illustrated Nonsense", click HERE. Once you arrive, you can select your time frame of interest from the calendar-based listings at the bottom of the page, and check the daily offerings for any month from the start of 2020 until December 2024. 
As of December 2024, there are 1800 unique entries available on the daily blog, displaying individual poems (often illustrated) and wordplay, but also with some photo-collages and parody song-lyrics. Most of their key elements are also presented here on "Edifying Nonsense" in topic-based collections, such as this one. The "Daily" format also has the advantage of including some song-lyrics, videos and other material that are not shown here on this topic-based blog.
