Limerick Writing Workshop

Thursday, March 3, 5:30 pm. $20

Please note that for events at the Center, proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test from within the last 72 hours are required for entry.

Learn the history and craft of the short, humorous verse that is often nonsensical and frequently ribald. Hewing perfectly to a meter and rhyme scheme is one of the things that make limericks funny, and a good limerick has a clever unanticipated punch line, along with puns, wordplay, and other witty elements. With expert guidance, write your own and enter to win our 2022 Limerick contest with a live reading at the Center’s St. Patrick’s Day Festival. Price includes beer!
