A 'Throwback' Post from 2012: Do You Write Limericks for Hire?

Do You Write Limericks for Hire?
That's the short version of an email I received earlier this week.
Someone contacted me regarding my availability for a custom limerick. Now I'm uncertain how many requests Ed Calkins, the Steward of Tara, has accumulated, but this one is my first, so it's pretty special.
I quoted a modest price and asked for some additional information about the upcoming special occasion for the intended limerick. So far, I've not heard a response, but I'm hopeful. If Ed Calkins ever finds out I'm treading on his territory, this could initiate a language battle of epic proportions.
Oh, did I say that out loud?

I actually did accept the challenge and charged $25 - and then handed the job off to Timothy Baran (pictured above writing a limerick at this year's Calkins Day event. He felt the $25 was fair.
