An attractive young gal, nicknamed Red,
Has avowed that she’ll never be wed.
Ev’ry fellow she dates
Tends to cling, which she hates.
So she favors “brief flings.” . . . Enough said!

August 10th, 2026Today’s verse doesn’t work. (I can’t lie.)
And my muse is on strike. (Don’t know why.)
After toiling all day,
I said “Help!” She said “Nay!
I am resting. Go play with AI!”
The Tarnished Bard (Limerick)
August 10th, 2026An old gentleman’s rep as a bard
Has been marred and, alas, deeply scarred.
He was caught using “near rhymes”
In lim’ricks; It’s clear rhymes
Imperfect are barred. Be on guard!
Not Improving With Age (Limerick)
August 4th, 2026A dental technician named Ruth
Was viewed, in her youth, as uncouth.
As she aged, she got mean,

As a scoundrel who’s long in the tooth.
The “Weapon” (Limerick)
August 2nd, 2026“Going out for a snack — a Big Mac,”
Said the man to his wife. “Be right back.”
“No you won’t! Don’t you dare,”

Of a mom shall be giving you flack!”
Motivational Limerick
July 28th, 2026Motivational efforts by bosses,
When done thoughtlessly lead to large losses:
Gifting over-priced gin
As the “carrot’s” no win,
If the staffer has given up “sauces.”
Rage (Limerick)
July 26th, 2026An old fellow would rage night and day,
While his wife tried to keep him at bay.
He’d lash out for no reason
With rants about treason.
(At least, THAT’s what her lawyer will say.)
Communication Glitch (Limerick)
July 21st, 2026Poor Stuart was feeling perplexed,
And NOT just little bit vexed
By his wife’s “Honey do
Buy me honeydew, Stu!”
(He’ll be needing a translator next.)
Matters of Opinion (Limerick)
July 20th, 2026“This issue’s extremely clear-cut.
Moreover it’s open-and-shut.”
Such assertions emphatic
And blindly dogmatic
Make me itch to butt in and rebut.
Depart, Already! (Limerick)
July 16th, 2026“Please depart, go away, kindly leave.
And the sooner the better! This eve
Would suffice, I’d avow.
Even better? Right now!
And don’t bother to seek a reprieve.”
The Impatient Patient (Limerick)
July 14th, 2026An old patient, impatiently waiting
For the doctor, was plotting his rating.
“Five-Thumbs-Down” it would be,
For he needed to pee,
Doc was late, and the muzak was grating.
“Highly” Happy Limerick
July 10th, 2026A jovial student, while high,
Said “By Jove, I’m a real lucky guy!
I’ve been acing each test
And I’m feath’ring my nest
Using scams, with the help of AI.”
Failed Investment (Limerick)
July 8th, 2026A young fellow is swimming in debt,
Cuz he recklessly made a big bet
On a bus’ness that failed.
All his partners have bailed,
And he’s now been assailed by regret.
Failure to Communicate? (Limerick)
July 3rd, 2026“Please slow down and repeat what you said,”
A gal begged her impatient spouse Ned.
“And do NOT blame my ears:
After two or three beers,
Your words rush, veer, & tumble ahead.”
Lonesome Limerick
July 2nd, 2026“It is difficult living alone,”
Said a lonely old lady named Joan.
“But my problem’s been solved,
And it isn’t involved . . .
I just bother my kids on the phone.”
Apprehensive Limerick
July 2nd, 2026My limerick plays with the 2 meanings of APPREHENSION:
Apprehending the risk of arrest,
Two famed felons were doing their best
To evade apprehension
And prison detention.
They’re in jail. (They were right to be stressed!)
Seeing Red (Limerick)
June 30th, 2026“I was floored when I saw how he looked;
He’s so florid, you’d swear he’d been cooked.
Is it fever? The sun?
Is it both, or just one?
I sure hope that a doctor’s been booked!”
Dodging Gym (Limerick)
June 29th, 2026In my youth, I would hide during gym.
(I am klutzy and slow; skill set grim.)
Tossing balls? Not my speed!
As for catching ’em? Heed
What I say: Go find someone with vim!
Greedy Limerick
June 28th, 2026An old man whose largesse is well-known,
Has grown children who constantly moan
About “pushover dad.”
They are greedily mad
That he’s “squand’ring” what THEY “ought to own.”
