About 10 years ago I picked up a book of limericks from the public library in Rochester, Minnesota. It struck me then that the taboo nature of the limerick could be applied to some of the parts of the bible that tend to get neglected - those earthy, vulgar parts, the parts with rough edges. So I wrote one or two to amuse myself and my friends. And then another, and another and some time later I realized that I had over 800 biblical limericks - some from every book of the bible - old testament, new testament, and apocrypha... It was about that time that I decided that I needed to do something with them.
