Sheer Madness: My Non-Existent Book (Limerick)
Over the years I’ve written enough humor columns, limericks, and sundry light verse to fill two or three collections. And one of these days I may even get my act together, stop procrastinating and self-publish at least one of them. I mention this because Big Tent Poetry’s latest prompt urges us to come up with a name for a future book and then write a title poem for that non-existent book.
Yes, I know this is Sheer Madness, which is also the title of my non-existent humor collection:
Sheer Madness
By Madeleine Begun Kane
I’m hoping to publish a book
With an excellent concept and hook.
It’s title? Sheer Madness,
Reviewed please sans badness,
Sold on paper and Kindle and Nook.

I want to call my comic memoir “My Pen is Large.”
Great title MadK.
Can a person pre-order an autographed, 1st edition print of this not yet published future best-seller?
It’ll fit nicely in my library between Will Rogers biography and Carlin’s “Napalm and Silly Putty.”
The world is ready! I’m with Scott. I’ll pre-order :-)
And me, please.
A book by Mad Kane called Sheer Madness
Would surely delight and amuse us.
Limerick and haiku,
Fun satire, too;
Please hurry Mad Kane, we must de-stress!
Like that title and your limerick!
Sheer Madness…Love It!
Love that title MadK.
I giggled aloud at this, which probably doesn’t surprise you but does surprise me because I am not normally a Limerick appreciator. Today, this moment, I am a Limerick lover.
Fantastic.
Kudos.
Hats off!
Thanks so much everyone for your kind words, and thanks Laurie for your verse!
I would buy that book.
I
think
the world
needs such a
book, sign me up now
ere it shows up on daytime TV
LOL. I love limericks. : )
It’s time! Your fan club waits.
LOL. The world needs more light verse.
Perfect for the prompt!
Amusing. Catchy title! It would sell for certain!!
love it! the world needs more honest-to-god limericks.
Terrific! I like the name and the game… you play with words. But why not submit? Finishing Line Press, among others, is looking for new women’s voices. Consider it.
Thanks so much to all of you for your kind words and compliments!
A humor book would be most welcome. It’s just what the world needs to make it a happier place!!
I think that is a fabulous idea and I would read it on paper and kindle but not nook. :-) Nice!
Well written !!
I will lov to buy this book :)
You’ve brought limericks to a new level, and I find myself totally enjoying each and every one you share with us. I’d definitely love a copy of the book too! :-)
Thanks so much to all of you. I appreciate your enthusiasm for my humor.
Thank you for enabling me to start my day with a big smile! Good luck to you!
