A handmade zine retelling stories of sexual assault, abuse and predatory behaviours by men and inflicted upon the artist (26 years old). Each recollection is told in the form of a limerick, playing with the humour that the artist and other victims use to protect from fully confronting the trauma. Limericks were considered drinking songs in origin, reflecting the artist's own issues with addiction; the line structure often diverges from the classic 8,8,5,5,8 structure as if the author was intoxicated upon writing or reciting the ditties.
