Ebook description

Is it possible to tell a tall tale in as few as thirty words? That would require a limerick, a five-line rhyming cartoon in words. In this case fifty-four tiny capsule science fiction stories to make you smile: A hot little androidal miss - Who jets off steam with a hiss - Is made out of junk - And is very steam punk - So she's much too risky to kiss.

Review by: Joseph Rhea on July 28, 2010 :
This is a collection of humorous limericks by U.K. novelist, Peter Salisbury, usually known for his "serious" science fictions novels, like "Passengers to Sentience," and it's upcoming sequel. I read several of these limericks to my two children and they loved every one.

One of my (many) favorites is;

A cute little android called Shelly
Looked marvelously good on the telly
But being a punk
She caused quite a funk
Drinking oil that was terribly smelly.

It is a small book uniquely designed for today's digital eReaders that will have you rereading it again and again. It is also suitable for all ages (IMHO).
