I am a born and bred Capetonian, living in Pretoria, South Africa for 19 years. I am married with three children. One of my pastimes over the past couple of years has been to write limericks. A limerick is a 5 line rhyme which can have meaning, either fictional or non-fictional, and can sometimes have no meaning at all, but can be just pure fun to read. This is the fourth eBook I have written. Other titles, Limericks Galore, Limericks from the United States of America” and “News in Rhymes for 2009” can be found on my blog.
