Poems from the 2025 Limericks Contest: Martin Redfern, Two Limericks

 Martin Redfern is a public opinion researcher living in Ottawa Canada. 

Two Limericks

There once was a man from Lambay

Who sought to write verse a new way

He thought t’would be grand

To write five lines that scanned

Rhyming AA then BB then A.

 ***

His poetry form was called cute

By the marketing men in their suits,

But for branding, they claimed,

It should take on the name

Of a West Irish town of repute.
