		As a new draft of this land's history is now being prepared, the time is ripe to reconsider the previous drafts, and to draw some conclusions from the journey this parcel of land has experienced.
		For Limerick, the first draft was one of manifest destiny and expansion; the second of impartial bureaucrats protecting the public good through public works and efficient management of public lands.
		The history of urban communities such as Pittsburgh has enjoyed drafts similar to Limerick's analysis of the west and the third draft may, at Nine Mile Run, finally be underway.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Limerick
		One bishop of Limerick, in 1351, ruled Ireland for a short period as lord deputy; and another had a serious quarrel with the Archbishop of Cashel, whom he drove out of Limerick by force.
		For nearly twenty years subsequently Limerick had no bishop; and then came the partial toleration under Charles II and the fleeting triumph under James II, followed by the Jacobite war, which, in Ireland, was mainly a war of religion.
		The Treaty of Limerick, which ended the war and was supposed to have secured toleration for the Catholics, was soon shamefully broken, and in the eighteenth century Limerick—city and diocese—experienced to the full the horrors of the penal laws.

		The limerick, bawdy and obnoxious, is not unlike a freak-show curiosity in the carnival of literary forms.
		Since then, the form has appeared sporadically throughout the history of the English language, from the bellowing songs of half-naked street beggars during the sixteenth century to the drinking songs of inebriated pub-crawlers in the seventeenth century (Legman xv-xix).
		Often the joke is on the poet himself; the limerick is a method, sometimes hostile, of laughing away "sexual fears and impotencies--real and imaginary--in short satirical efforts of elaborate rhyme, in which, be it said once and for all, woman is the usual butt of the satire" (Legman xl).

	M. Graziosi, The Limerick
		The 'clean' sort of limerick is an obvious palliation, its content insipid, its rhyming artificiality ingenious, its whole pervaded with a frustrated nonsense that vents itself typically in explosive and aggressive violence.
		If the further history of the limerick does not pose great problems to Legman's thesis, some pop up as soon as he tries to demonstrate that the limerick had been "indecent" from the very beginning.
		Lear never used the word "limerick"; in the 1872 book, he called his poems "nonsense rhymes", or rather "nonsense pictures and rhymes" as the illustrations were probably for him at least as important as the verses themselves.
