Texas Limericks If you enjoy limericks and have an affinity for Texas, this tiny gem covers the state with Greg Young's special brand of humor and whimsy.

It makes a perfect birthday or hostess gift or Christmas stocking stuffer. Young, a West Texan of myriad talents, frankly confesses his obsession with crafting limericks using Texas place names and other subjects emblematic of his home state. You'll find Willie Nelson, Nolan Ryan, Molly Ivins and other Texas icons intoned.
