Notes About The Poem

This limerick and I are indebted to Susan Ashley for the term 'gigglicious' and to L. J. Carber for raising the issue of word-play vs. serious poetry in his poem, "Silly Word Songs."

Gigglicious Aloysius

There once was a chap named Aloysius
Who penned poems oh-so-gigglicious--
   So sharp was his wit
   His readers' sides split--
Yet his fine points were just meretricious

I thought you would. (No false modesty here.) … And I myself actually like this one a lot too. Occasionally, I'm pleased with something I write... Thanks, Mo!! :) gw
