My Dear Spring: I am rip-roaring mad,
Cuz the weather you’re bringing’s been bad.
It’s late May, and we’re still
Using heat. Such a chill
Is inflating our bill. You’re a cad!
Dismay About May (Limerick)
May 24th, 2026Resolution Aftermath (Limerick)
May 21st, 2026There’s a Jan. 1 tradition, held dear,
To make vows to get up off your rear…
And reform. Well, it’s May:
Habits (BAD ones) hold sway.
But don’t worry: There’s always next year!
The Sore Loser (Limerick)
May 19th, 2026“It was NOT my intent to depress you,
Or to irk you or vex you or stress you.
Playing games should be fun,
So please DON’T be undone
Cuz I’m able (at times) to out-guess you.”
Annoying Neighbor (Limerick)
May 16th, 2026Fortunately, this is fictitious:
My neighbor’s a pain in the neck:
He bangs on his drums on his deck
At sunrise each day
And at midnight in May…
And loves Trump. (I may move to Quebec.)
Lost Cause? (Limerick)
May 15th, 2026Please don’t tell me to go with the flow,
That you don’t need directions, dear beau.
Your assurance, you see,
Is no comfort to me.
You are lost. It’s my home. I should know!
The Obnoxious Landlord (Limerick)
May 14th, 2026When a thoughtless young landlord can’t sleep,
He’ll start blowing his horn. He’s a creep!
And when worn tenants gripe
About noise, he’ll just snipe:
“Read your lease! That’s why rent is so cheap!”
Inspiration (Limerick)
May 12th, 2026Inspiration hits? Put it to use.
Since it’s fleeting, do give it some juice.
You must use it or lose it,
And never abuse it.
So play with that notion. Let loose!
Question of the Day (Limerick)
May 7th, 2026Is creating a limerick hard?
That depends on one’s mode as a bard:
One can try to comply
With the rules, or skate by
With some “near rhyme” and meter that’s marred.
The Critic (Limerick)
May 5th, 2026A rich fellow who lived in a mansion
Saw himself as an expert in scansion.
He’d critique without cause
Meter lacking in flaws…
Cuz he suffered from ego-expansion.
The Appeal Of Applause (Limerick)
May 3rd, 2026Being flattered and praised is a treat.
If sincere, it sure beats out defeat.
But I can’t understand
Laudits said on command…
And received as if warm, true, and sweet.
Advice That I Should (But Don’t) Take (Limerick)
May 2nd, 2026Are you feeling a little bit down?
Has your smile been replaced by a frown?
I’d advise you to turn
Off the news and to spurn
Online headlines. Have fun! Go to town!!
A Testy Plea (Limerick)
May 1st, 2026I prefer my food zesty and hot,
So please DON’T make me deal with a bot.
Getting humans to heed
My extreme spicy need?
Tough enough! Don’t replace them with ROT!!
The Battle To Write (Limerick)
April 30th, 2026It is quarter to four and I still
Haven’t written a thing: output nil!
I’ve had sev’ral false starts
With some lame wordplay farts…
So here’s hoping this verse fills the bill.
Tuning Out (Limerick)
April 29th, 2026I attended a concert today,
Where I heard a famed oboist play.
His technique was well-honed.
But his tone? I just groaned!
So I simply was NOT blown away.
Is Hatred Unhealthy? (Limerick)
April 18th, 2026Some maintain that it’s toxic to hate
And that loathing just makes you irate.
While that might well be true,
Someone vile (you know who)
Deserves both and much more. No debate!
Seduced By Words (Limerick)
April 15th, 2026Brand new words are like catnip to me;
I explore roots and meaning with glee.
Once enlightened, I swoon,
Though, alas, this great boon…
Shall soon from my memory flee.
The Curmudgeon (Limerick)
April 10th, 2026A “connected” curmudgeon named Frank.
Had a high-level job at a bank.
His performance was panned;
He deserved to be canned…
Yet (surprise!) he survived when ranks shrank.
My Taxing Muse (Limerick)
April 2nd, 2026I should write, but I’ve nothing to say;
Inspiration is waning today.
My damn muse is a pill!
She won’t help me until
I’m done filing my taxes. Oy Vey!
The Bootlicker (Limerick)
March 26th, 2026A bootlicking fellow named Ross
Worked in footwear and fawned on his boss.
Many co-workers mocked him.
One gal even socked him.
He’s boss now … and she’s on the sauce.
