Boynton Beach, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/16/2015 -- Let's face it, even the modern world's most experienced journalists often find it difficult to put society's quirks into words. True to the adage that wisdom can be found in the most unlikely places, a compelling new book of limericks by Martin C. Mayer captures the concept of social commentary with humorous aplomb. Its title is "LIMERICKA THE BEAUTIFUL."
It's all down to the author's creative mind, thirst for current affairs and other social issues, and knack for bucking more conventional forms of commentary.
This uplifting and thought-provoking volume fuses over 150 original limericks to capture society's story, warts and all. With subject matter traversing many nooks and crannies, Mayer is passionate about helping readers examine their own lives in a mirror and turn back to the real world with a fresh perspective.
Explains the author: "Not only did I have to identify the social issues which require confrontation, but then I had to craft them into an Iambic Pentameter format. This proved difficult, so like any creative author might have done, I employed a healthy dose of poetic license to form, format, and the English language itself!"
"The end product is a series in limerick format that hopefully will provoke debate and bring to the forefront issues which might well be swept under the rug by other forms of media. I do not believe that life presents too many opportunities for people to rhyme their way through a dissection of their existence - so don't miss out."
"These days, many people believe that resorting to vulgarity, bad taste, and shocking content are the keys to attracting an audience. Although some of my references are risqué, there is no obscene content in my rhymes, and only the most prudish might take offense."
"That said, I am not apologizing for any of the subjects I expose. If you want to know what I am talking about, you will have to buy the book."
With the book's popularity set to increase rapidly, interested readers are urged to purchase their copies ASAP.
