Lewis Williams, who lives in Byfield, Northants, said the idea occurred to him when he and a friend were trying to remember the Devizes limerick: “We were in the mood for schoolboy humour and I wondered whether it would be possible to write a book with a rude limerick for every town in the country.”
Five years later, The Great British Limerick Book has been published by Corona Books and Lewis is hoping it will make an amusing sticking filler.

Before having a rest

And I wanted to try out a futon
