An 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.)

Rage (Limerick)
Sunday, July 26th, 2026Matters 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.
The Impatient Patient (Limerick)
Tuesday, July 14th, 2026An old patient, impatiently waiting
For the doctor, was plotting his rating.
“Five-Thumbs-Down” it would be,

Doc was late, and the muzak was grating.
Lonesome Limerick

I just bother my kids on the phone.”
Connected Limerick

His abundance of pull
Guarantees that he’ll never be poor.
Cluttered Limerick
Sunday, June 21st, 2026“Please do SOMETHING with all of your clutter,
And for REAL this time. Don’t simply putter!”
What a common refrain,
Addressed mostly in vain
To a spouse who’ll evade or rebut her!
Unwanted Advice (Limerick)
Thursday, June 18th, 2026“You adore telling folks what to do,

Or do something that’s cray.
Go away! (That’s my counsel to YOU!)”
The “Guilty” Gal (Limerick)
Saturday, May 30th, 2026A young gal was chock-full of remorse:
She was certain she’d caused a divorce,

Is that woman a shrink? But of course!
The Sore Loser (Limerick)
Tuesday, May 19th, 2026“It was NOT my intent to depress you,

Cuz I’m able (at times) to out-guess you.”
Annoying Neighbor (Limerick)
Saturday, 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)
Friday, 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)
Thursday, May 14th, 2026When a thoughtless young landlord can’t sleep,

About noise, he’ll just snipe:
“Read your lease! That’s why rent is so cheap!”
The Critic (Limerick)
Tuesday, May 5th, 2026A rich fellow who lived in a mansion

Meter lacking in flaws…
Cuz he suffered from ego-expansion.
The Appeal Of Applause (Limerick)
Sunday, 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.
Is Hatred Unhealthy? (Limerick)
Saturday, 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!
The Curmudgeon (Limerick)
Friday, April 10th, 2026A “connected” curmudgeon named Frank.

Yet (surprise!) he survived when ranks shrank.
The Bootlicker (Limerick)
Thursday, March 26th, 2026A bootlicking fellow named Ross

Happy Friday The 13th! (Limerick)
Friday, March 13th, 2026Though 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!
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.
