I tried writing some verse about art,
But was off to a second-rate start:
My thoughts scattered, bespattered
By nonsense — brain battered.
ADD? But of course! Off the chart!

The Knock (Limerick)
Sunday, October 18th, 2026“I knocked and I knocked and I knocked.
No response from my aunt. Door’s unlocked.
I go in, now concerned
By the chairs, all upturned,
Not to mention a gun that is cocked.
‘She’s my niece,’ says my aunt. ‘Let her be.’
Then she hands me a glass of Chablis,
And she says, ‘Had a scare.
Called my cop pal Pierre.’
I shake hands with her cop ‘pal’ and flee.”
The Feud (Limerick)

The poor delicate flower would cower.
The Hoarder (Limerick)

Matters of Opinion (Limerick)

The Impatient Patient (Limerick)
Tuesday, July 14th, 2026An old patient, impatiently waiting

And for REAL this time. Don’t simply putter!”

Addressed mostly in vain
To a spouse who’ll evade or rebut her!
