Note on: Not The Man From Nantucket.


Another poet replied to my last one about Tanka with a limerick about that very tiresome man from Nantucket, and his bucket.

I suggested to a different poet that, as there are not many rhymes for Nantucket other than "bucket", this needed to be fixed. So I made the first one up on the spot.

Sunny Cherrybrook in Sydney hit 41℃ today (about 106 ℉), so added the second one.

The limericks got an honourable Mention in " The Illustrious Annual Limerickpalooza!" on 21 Aug 2024.
