About this listen

Connor's guest is friend, and fellow co-host of Poetry SLAMMED, Mike Marlow. They talk about Mike's general air of whimsy and the similarities between writing a limerick and writing a joke.

The example poem is from the Nickelodeon cartoon, SpongeBob SquarePants. Mike also shares the CLASSIC limerick "There once was a man from Nantucket".

Connor then reads his poems "It's Time" and "Cat-Scratch Fever", followed by Mike's three APPROPRIATELY UNTITLED Limericks.

Then, in true Poetry SLAMMED fashion, they each improvise a limerick based on the words "tickle" and "Texas".
