SINGABLE LIMERICKS inspired by a recent visit to Vancouver Island's appealing east coast.
ORIGINAL SONG: These verses can be sung to "The Limerick Song", as in "The Flea and the Fly". See sactoGranny's recording on YouTube here. Additionally, it was realized that with a few mild modifications, the same lyrics could be sung to the ballad "Black Velvet Band" as sung by the Irish-Canadian band The Irish Rovers.
ORIGINAL LIMERICK VERSE: this extended poem, representing a 'brief saga', our initial example of this type of formulation, was composed by Giorgio Coniglio, October 2016.
