There is a young fellow named MickWho' s adapted the old limerickTo cover, with mirthThe whole history of EarthAnd what made its characters tick. These 100 lively and humorous limericks take us back to before the beginning of time itself and right up until yesterday evening when you were probably making your dinner. Covering everyone' s favourite history lessons (and a few surprising ones too!), Mick Twister has cleverly raided the tomes of the past, picked at the bones of the world' s greatest figures, moments and events and condensed the most complex of human activities into five funny rib-tickling lines for your amusement. From a geezer called Caesar to What a Load of Bankers (about the financial crisis), this is the funniest way to learn about the past. Who ever said that history was boring, had clearly never read this book!
Mick Twister is a London-based television journalist in international news, and part-time cryptic crossword compiler. Since inventing the twitmerick in May 2011, he has been tweeting the news in daily limericks as @twitmericks. Twitmericks have been reproduced by the Washington Post and New Statesman.
