Audio Fiction Limericks Volume 2

Catch ‘Em in the Act by Terry Bisson (via Tor.com Story Podcast 7)

There once was a dude whose name was Lou
who lived alone with nothing to do.
He bought a camcorder,
which caused some disorder,
yet after it all he still felt blue.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen ads for those Crimestoppers™ cameras myself. Catch ‘Em in the Act is written in a repetitive pattern pleasantly reminiscent of a folk story.

The Twa Corbies by Marie Brennan (via PodCastle 82)

Thanks to ravens whose speech he did dread,
a peddler found a knight who was dead.
He told the knight’s lady
who seemed a bit crazy;
later she died and birds ate her head.
