Table of contents: title: ...a Duel Between Isaac Asimov & John Ciardi. — Ribald humor. A volume of umspeakable (in polite society) poems. Devotees of bawdy limericks may well enjoy it. — When Asimov published his earlier collections of "lecherous" limericks, he ribbed Ciardi that he, too, was now a poet. Ciardi took the bait, and Asimov shortly received a typescript of 144 (one gross) of bawdy limericks and an invitation (or challenge?) to add another gross. The book, Limericks: Too Gross, is the result.; title: Isaac Asimov, one of the world's best-selling authors, a scientist, academic, romantic, and original thinker, here jousts and jests with his old opponent in the war of words, John Ciardi. Ciardi, of course, is a poet, world authority on and pemier translator of Dante, teacher, critic, and formidable manufacturer and wielder of the word-weapon.; title: -----; title: Companion limerick volumes by Isaac Asimov and John Ciardi:; title: Limericks: Too Gross (Vol 1); title: A Grossery of Limericks (Vol 2)
