The nine short choral works were composed in 2018 for the limericks in Edward Lear's (1812-1888) Nonsense-collection, with the encouragement of conductor Soma Lozsányi. All elements of the music (singing, recitative, stepping, stamping, astonishing rhythms) serve the humour and irony in the poems. The work also commemorates the renowned folk music researcher and composer, Mátyás Seiber, who wrote limericks himself.

The dedication is to Soma Lozsányi. He conducted the premiere with the Kaposi Chamber Choir at the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music in Budapest in 2018.
