Paul Goode's - Limericks

Dedicated to Andre Norton

 

 

 

Years ago I wrote a synopsis for Witch World in limerick form. I later did the same for some of my other favorites. Here are some Limericks Nortonian:




Witch World

Simon Tregarth accepted his Fate
Which delivered him to a witch Mate
They put forth their Power

In the critical Hour

And drove Kolder back through the Gate.



The Stars Are Ours

Dard Nordis thought (just to be candid)
That he would be taken for granted
But he gave them Cold Sleep

And he slept very deep

And he woke up upon a new planet.



Moon of Three Rings

Malen went all out, whole-hog
For Krip Vorland to put-on-the-dog
After Molaster's scale

It was Krip who was pale

And Malen who wore the fur togs.



The X Factor

Diskan Fentress was in great distress
He thought clumsiness made him useless
But the Brothers- In- Fur

Refused to concur

And he led them all to success.



Follow The Drum

Treachery caused so much chagrin
That the Lovells became van der Lynns
Their fortunes unfurled

Upon the New World

With husband for her, wife for him.



And last but not least one about Andre herself



The LADY

Andre Norton is truly the Greatest
From her first book to her very latest
From her magical pen

Again and again

Came worlds seen, felt, heard, smelled and tasted.
