I’ve always been a huge fan of Asimov even before I learned he was a proficient writer of limericks. I’ve been reading his novels for many years and have always considered him to be fellow lover of science fiction. After reading some of his limericks I discovered his relationship with John Ciardi and their famous limerick wars. For those of you not familiar with Azimov and his works I’d recommend you read his greatest work, The Foundation Series. I love reading long and involved stories and I’d put Asimov right up there with J.R.R Tolkien and J. K Rowling. Here’s a few samples of his well constructed limericks.

When alone, a young woman named Julia
Had qualities quite peculiar.
And when men were about
(short, tall, lean, or stout)
Her conduct was even unrulier,
☘️☘️
To moralists, sex is a sin,
Yet Nature suggests we begin.
She arranged it, no doubt,
That a fellow juts out
In the place where a damsel juts in.

There was once a great knight named Sir Lancelot
Who placed Queen Guinevere in a trance a lot.
But what bothered the King
Was: he managed the thing
By serenely removing his pants a lot.
☘️☘️☘️☘️
Sex need not be conversational.
Without talking it’s still inspirational,
But mind you’re not burned
For many have learned
The act can be baby-creational.
