Readers who have always pined for the perfect limerick hinging on the place name \"Schenectady\" will at long last be placated. Meanwhile, longtime Keillor fans will gain insight into a whole new side of the bestselling author, whose obsession with limericks goes all the way back to when the bespectacled, lanky youth wearing hand-me-down jeans (from his sister) recited to his Anoka High School class: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere was a young man of Anoka\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWho tried to write a great limerick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe tried and he tried\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd some were not bad, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut something seemed to be missing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 184\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.42 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 15, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47185742364921,"sku":"9781733074513","price":19.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/bWI3ZjhVYlVjelA1TCtGeDNQT2xxQT09.webp?v=1767819903","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/living-with-limericks-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
