The Battle To Write (Limerick)

Thursday, April 30th, 2026

It 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)

Wednesday, April 29th, 2026

I 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)

Saturday, April 18th, 2026

Some 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)

Wednesday, April 15th, 2026

Brand 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.

Unenlightened Dining (Limerick)

Sunday, April 12th, 2026

“It’s too dark in this place,” said the gent.
“Did this restaurant NOT pay its rent?
Your damn, flickering light
On the menu’s a blight.
I give up. You have lamb? I’m lamb bent.”

The Curmudgeon (Limerick)

Friday, April 10th, 2026

A “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)

Thursday, April 2nd, 2026

I 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!
