The idea came out of the news limericks I was doing, but the content is almost all new – a couple at the end are reworkings of 2011/2012 Twitmericks. Each accompanied by informative humorous text and some with illustrations. the perfect gift for the limerickophile in your life. Or yourself.
Mick Twister has written a book/
On Amazon, go take a look/

Dear Mick, as a collector of limerick books (with over 1300 in my library dating from as early as 1820) I couldn’t let my scan-through of the Geezer called Caeser pass without saying how refreshing it is to have seen a new publication of really high quality. So many fall short of the mark!
Best wishes,
Doug
Thanks Doug, Your comment is much appreciated. Fascinating to hear you’ve collected so many limerick books. Are they mostly based on sexual humour or Lear-style nonsense – or is there a reasonable track record of somewhere-in-between?

Have recently finished the book, it was a Christmas present (twice). Much as I love a limerick I like to ration my daily allowance to properly enjoy them. I started tweeting a daily limerick last autumn thinking I was being wholly unique, delighted to find through your links this is not the case and loving your daily news Limerick. Thank you so much for following back.
@Limerick Bob1
Thanks Bob. There’s a little community of us out there in fact, so welcome – and thanks for recommending the book. Mick.

Hello Mick,
I latched onto your work after finding your Six Wives book in Waterstones, I was noting down some humour publishers. I’ve done 185 limericks in the last 12 months, and I’m aiming to attract a publisher for my jokes in general. 60% are rude! rather like your whopper /shopper /chopper one. I’ve read 20 or so of yours, but I darent read any more as I don’t want them influencing mine, but you evidently have a quite enormous back catalogue, and they all seem to be up there for free! I was going to buy your Six Wives book to guage your standard but I’ve no need now. Yours are more skilled than I’ve come across in the Mad Kane competitions, mainly because of your attention to rhythm. So as a total amateur I’ve written 6,000 ‘items of humour’ since Nov 2016 and comic songs before that, but for the moment I’m persisting with limericks. I’m not much good at Twitter/X. Here’s one: ‘A top heavy teacher from Diggle, who’s wares would unfailingly jiggle, ignored every warning that pupils were fawning, and gave the headmaster a wiggle! ….I dare say I’ll have to post mine online for free before long!
