Once strictly a means of spiritual defense, now “Limericks of Loss And Regret” can be used to physically ward off or even beat down your enemies. Announcing the hardcover, International Cormorant Edition of Marty Barrett’s beloved tome, now fortified to stop bullets and break hearts.
“We were talking about the space between us all, and we realized that a hardcover ‘Limericks of Loss And Regret’—value-added for 2025—would fill in the gaps just like a Savoy Truffle,” George Harrison didn’t say, and we agree!
This beautiful and sturdy book, containing 50 limericks and 50 short stories, designed to be read one per year for the next century, is the perfect stocking stuffer, menorah mitzvah, Duwali doodad, Kwanzaa Keepsake, or Krampusnacht Lagniappe. You could also present it as an early Martin Luther King Jr. Day gift, but we believe there are more appropriate choices. That said, it would make an excellent President’s Day present.
And it can be yours for 20 bucks!
That’s right. For the cost of a single afternoon’s parking in the garage of your medical provider that should have been free considering how much you’re paying for insurance, now you can get an enigmatically satisfying, 318-page book full of poetry and short stories that will leave you pleasantly but no less deeply troubled.
“There is simply no comparing Marty Barrett’s work to that of any other writer,” states John Crye in the blurb and, lest you think Mr. Crye deftly avoided the assignment, continues: “(Barrett is) an original. Funny, poignant, and confounding.”
It is the author’s wish that you ask for and purchase “Limericks of Loss And Regret” from your local bookstore or request it from your local library, but if that is not possible, the great and ancient publishing distribution behemoth Ingram sells the book online for $20 in the US and 17 pounds in the UK. It is also available on Amazon for 25 percent more.
