They say lightning never strikes twice
But the Lim'rick Fest comes around thrice!
     The first was a curse
     And the second much worse
I fear that the third shan't suffice

LA Weekly's, Paul T. Bradley, gave a rave review about last's year's Limerick Fest on 11.11.11...

L.A. Limerick Fest -- Bawdy Poetry is alive and well in Altadena

"What's better than sex and sheep!?" one poet opines after a particularly colorful rhyme, to which a well-imbibed patron responds, "Nothing's better than sex and sheep!" Clearly, there are few holds barred in the Limerick creative process. The festival is part literary genius, part puerile ditty -- kind of like the stories you may have heard if you spied on the after-hours portion of your parents' drink-sodden dinner party."

So start writing your limericks now and plan to recite them in person!
