Limeryki, czyli przykład poezji niepoważnej
Streszczenie
The article discusses Polish limericks. It shows that authors’ invention can affect different
aspects o f a piece, and can be noticed on the auditory level, in startling rhymes and neologisms
invented by the author, as well as in the employment of humorous topics and surprising (often
absurd) plot solutions. The article also shows that the primary function of limericks is that of
entertaining both their authors and audiences. That is why limericks can be labelled ‘lightweight
poetry’.
