The Great Australian Book of Limericks

Everyone knows at least one limerick. Here are all the limericks you can remember, and many you can't recall but wished you could—from childhood ones to some very adult ones. Jim Haynes has arranged more than a thousand limericks according to type—witty and whimsical, childish and charming, linguistic and logical, fair dinkum and funny, barmy and British. Australian idols and icons, place names, and prime ministers are paraded in all their historical and satirical glory.
