Matters of Opinion (Limerick)

Monday, 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)

Thursday, 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)

Tuesday, July 14th, 2026

An 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

Friday, July 10th, 2026

A 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)

Wednesday, July 8th, 2026

A 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)

Friday, 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

Thursday, 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

Thursday, July 2nd, 2026

My 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!)
