This book is a collection of two very distinct types of poetry: limericks and erotica. While it's true that many limericks are rather sexual and even raunchy (and yes, I've included a few in the book), they are very different in their style and formatting. While erotica is based fully on sexual themes, often the dark 'hot' extremely sensual sort and generally free-verse, limericks are light-hearted, structured rhymes. Erotica tends toward passion, while limericks tend toward humor. It's this poetic diversity that I've coupled (pun intended) into one book, that spawned the title. Kenneth Norman Cook
