Now here's something you don't come across every day - the complete fictional works of H.P. Lovecraft rewritten as limericks!
Michael Tice and R.A. Strong of Elegantly Amused Press have produced a 28 page cardstock cover booklet featuring a whole series of entertaining and witty limericks that give you the essence of each Lovecraft story in five brief lines of text.
There was a Mad Arab who said
That Cthulhu, though dreaming, is dead,
But some future night
When the stars become right,
He'll abandon his watery bed.
Considering the subject matter, it's difficult to make them all rhyme, but Tice & Strong have made a magnificent effort and some limericks are surely destined to become classics, no doubt appearing as Email signatures sitting in your in-box sometime soon.
