Coont Thum Again:
Anurr hunner an' oad McLimericks
by Angus Shoor Caan
The
limerick is thought to take its name
from the City of Limerick in Eire. It
became popular in the mid-nineteenth century after the London-born poet Edward
Lear published his Book of Nonsense. So it’s a type of poem named after an Irish
city and it was first popularised by an Englishman. But what do you call a limerick that’s been
written by a Scotsman? Why, a McLimerick, of course!
Coont Thum Again is a collection of over 100 McLimericks. They’ve all been penned by the Ayrshire writer and poet Angus Shoor Caan as a follow-up to Coont Thum, his first collection of McLimericks.
In true Scots fashion, the McLimericks in both collections are witty, irreverent and sometimes bawdy. In fact, we at McStorytellers, the website dedicated to showcasing the work of Scottish-connected short story writers, were so tickled by them that we rushed to publish them. We hope you’ll be tickled by them as well.
So please delve into Coont Thum Again. And if you like what you read go grab a copy of Coont Thum.
