Lively Limericks

Lively Limericks
A great present for fathers, brothers and friends with a wicked sense of humour! Lively Limericks is a collection of amusing and risqué limericks compiled and written by Patrick Holden, and illustrated by cartoonists Oliver Preston, and Bill Stott. Limericks first appeared in England in the early part of the 18th Century, and were popularized by Edward Lear in his Book of Nonsense. Patrick Holden is an avid collector of Limerick verse and this selection contains many classic limericks and updated favourites –many are cheeky and rude, and not for the easily offended ! But perfect reading material for the loo or cloakroom.
A Limericist writes:
The limerick packs laughs anatomical
Into space that is quite economical.
But the good ones I’ve seen
So seldom are clean
And the clean ones so seldom are comical.£12.50 -

” Unlimited Overs”
As Roger Morgan-Grenville prepares for a new season with the White Hunter Cricket Club, he is starting to feel his age so he embarks on a secret plan of coaching, yoga and psychology to improve his game. Will he emerge as a sporting demigod, or will his teammates even notice the difference ? This is a humorous and heartwarming story of that cricket season, as the White Hunters go from disaster to triumph. It is a tale of competitiveness, suspense, excellence, hospitality and incompetence, such as the missing fielder found asleep in the woods and the two opening bowlers whose MG roadster breaks down on the way to the game. From the Castle Ground in Arundel to a field next to a nudist camp in France, players such as the Tree Hugger, the Gun Runner, and their wicket-keeper, the Human Sieve, share the dream that this might be their day. Above all, it is the uplifting story of friendship among a team of not-very-good players, who find moments of near brilliance to remind them why they turn up for more, game after game, season after season.
