About the Book Lightly Laundered Limericks is a book containing about 420 limericks, most of them altogether new. Only a few are modifications of limericks that will be familiar to aficionados. The subject is sex (what else), highlighting the fantasies and exploits of both men and women. "Lightly Laundered" means that some words (such as the f- and cu-words) are avoided, as well as some concepts that many readers might find to be offensive. Nevertheless, the book may offend those who are easily shocked. The book could be an excellent gift to a mature person of either sex; to someone who can chortle while reading the limericks and who can laugh at the frailties of man.

About the Author John Warkentin was born during the depression of the 30s, on a farm in the Canadian prairies. Poverty was not painful; everyone was in the same boat. As a youngster, he did not notice how hard his parents worked to make ends meet. He attended a one-room rural school, with 40-odd other neighborhood kids enrolled in grades 1-8, and played soccer in spring, autumn or winter. He usually walked to school, of course, sometimes freezing a cheek, or an ear, or a finger. After grade school came high school, followed by university for first degrees, and then graduate school and postdoctoral studies in the USA. John returned to Canada where he started as an assistant professor at McMaster University in Hamilton and stayed at his first place of employment to retirement and beyond.
