Book Description
Love, Life, and Laughter in Limericks is a book of short poems that express insights, wisdoms, and sometimes humor. Each section starts with an explanation of a philosophical view of the author and many of the categorized limericks reflect and expand on those views. The book also has an extra section, toward the end, that contains several types of poetry, including non-limerick poems reflecting unique thoughts and ideas. Many, of the over 600 poems, deliver deep inspirational messages that can be viewed as quite thought stimulating, while others are more proverbial. And there are still others that can produce smiles and an occasional belly laugh with their wit and humor. The book holds many easy to read poems that should provide several hours of enjoyment.

Book Description
The next book in John Lithgow's New York Times bestselling series Following the success of New York Times bestsellers Dumpty and Trumpty Dumpty Wanted a Crown, award-winning actor, author, and illustrator John Lithgow presents the third book in his runaway hit series. A Confederacy of Dumptys takes us through a history of twenty-five "American Scoundrels" in this all-new collection of Lithgow's satirical poems and illustrations. While the Trump Era was rife with corruption and abuse of power, it was nothing new. Through Lithgow's cutting humor, you will read about a rogues' gallery of villains that came before Donald J. Trump, powerful men and women who were corrupt, venal, criminal, adulterous, racist, or just plain disgusting. With dark and lyrical stories from across American history, you will learn about long-forgotten figures and bad actors of today, including the first Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, the perpetrator of 19th century women's pyramid schemes, and participants in both the Watergate scandal and the Capitol insurrection. Trump and Nixon show up, of course, but also Leona Helmsley, Boss Tweed, Typhoid Mary, Newt Gingrich, Ted Cruz, and many more. Skipping through time, and delivered with classic Lithgow wit and style, A Confederacy of Dumptys is an exuberant reminder of how not to repeat history. Digital audio edition read by the author. The perfect book for: • Political satire fans—viewers of The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. • American history buffs and trivia enthusiasts—readers of Jon's Stewart's America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction and Josh Clark's Stuff You Should Know: An Incomplete Compendium of Mostly Interesting Things. • Poetry, art, and illustration aficionados.

Everything is covered from fairy terrorists, bikies, drugs, work, family dysfunctions, prison, cats, roller derby, mental health and all things in between. So, if you want to delve into the mind of a lunatic then this book is the key. You might even find you have a little looney in your head too!

Book Description
What is life without love, and what are these without the delight of laughter? Nandana Bose's gallimaufry of verse follows in the great tradition of limericks - poking poetic fun at our foibles and eccentricities, making us laugh. Malapropisms, sexual show-offs, bearded weirdies, druggies and drinkers, snail-lovers and provocative ladies all come under the poet's 'cosh'. But it's all very light-hearted, and the random targets and idiosyncrasies fit well with the nature of the genre as pioneered by Edward Lear. Laugh and enjoy Ms. Bose's collection, and if you catch sight of yourself in the mirror while doing so, like the author, then you'll have another source of mirth! Nandana Bose is twenty-seven years old and was born in Calcutta. She started writing limericks as an undergraduate at Presidency College in Calcutta. A British Chevening scholar from India in 2001, she holds masters degrees in Film Studies from Jadavpur University, Calcutta, and Communications Studies from the University of Leeds, England. She is interested in English literature and theatre, cinema, politics, Western classical music, cricket and travelling.
