So this is one of those artistic moments when the creator suspects that the creation is less than perfect, but cannot help himself from creating it. The current-events-inspired limerick that acts as this puzzle's solution is admittedly esoterically clunky and speaks to multiple topics, so today's hint will be part over-explanation (this stuff), part multiple links. I could have made this about any previously breaking news, such as Iran. (But that would be three weeks in a row. Pleased with myself as I am with those past two puzzles, even Seymour Hersh would say, "Enough already.") Instead, it speaks to this, this and this, as it uses words from this and this. Ayyyy!

About Me

Eric Platt
Nantucket, United States
I'm a writer who's created a word puzzle. This blog lets me share it as I establish its copyright (©2007-9 E. Platt, all rights reserved, etc.). LIMRACK varies in difficulty, puzzle-to-puzzle, but always pays off with a limerick poem! Fun, huh? Some limericks are original, some are interpretations of timeless classics. If LIMRACKs are a hit with folks online, I'd like to license them to weeklies or other appropriate print sources. Why not? -- I have hundreds of these things! (Which is why this info is in "about me," as limericks and LIMRACKs are a big part of what I'm up to these days -- it's fun!)
