A Bleary, Leary Legacy?

Thanks to Edward Lear, there's no shortage of limericks for children. This recent small collection is part tribute to Lear and part homage to the verbal play of Seuss's Fox in Socks. To wit:

Which Witch Was Which?
Two witchy witches in a Wichita ditch,
One witch with a twitch caused the witches to switch,
The spell they were under,
Caused people to wonder,
Which Witchita witch switched was which?

--Lou Brooks


There's even a Twimericks website.
