The Bootlicker (Limerick)

Thursday, March 26th, 2026

A 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.

Happy Friday The 13th! (Limerick)

Friday, March 13th, 2026

Though it’s Friday the 13th today,
Please don’t buy its “unlucky” cliché:
It’s an unfounded notion
That rates no devotion…
Oh My God! A black cat’s in my way!

Jury Duty? OY!

Thursday, March 5th, 2026

A quatrain, for a change of pace:

A jury duty notice
has alas come in my mail.
I’m on call to serve next Monday, so…
I predict snow, sleet and hail.

Drumming Up Claims (Limerick)

Thursday, March 5th, 2026

(Note: James is fictitious!)

An obnoxious old drummer named James
Enjoyed lawsuits & filing false claims.
He would wear people down,
Till he sued the wrong “clown.”
He’s been drummed out of town; life in flames.

Flowery Compliment? (Limerick)

Sunday, March 1st, 2026

The old idiom “fresh as a daisy”
Always strikes me as odd, even crazy.
No one’s used it for me,
And I’m glad, cuz I’d see
Wilting plants, looking shriveled and lazy.
