Communication Glitch (Limerick)

And NOT just little bit vexed
By his wife’s “Honey do
Buy me honeydew, Stu!”
(He’ll be needing a translator next.)

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.

Failure to Communicate? (Limerick)

Friday, July 3rd, 2026

A gal begged her impatient spouse Ned.
“And do NOT blame my ears:
After two or three beers,
Your words rush, veer, & tumble ahead.”

A Testy Plea (Limerick)

Friday, May 1st, 2026

I prefer my food zesty and hot,
So please DON’T make me deal with a bot.
Getting humans to heed
My extreme spicy need?
Tough enough! Don’t replace them with ROT!!

Don’t Sneeze At This Limerick

Saturday, October 4th, 2025

When a comic expelled a loud sneeze,
His worn trousers fell down to his knees.
As he snatched them, he kvetched,
“Damn elastic’s too stretched,”
Adding “How did you like my striptease?”

Colorful Limerick

Friday, May 16th, 2025

A young fellow scrawled something quite mean
In bright orange, dark red, and lime green.
I must hasten to note
I don’t mind what he wrote.
But that color scheme? Grossly obscene!

The Shrieker (Limerick)

Friday, May 17th, 2024

A young woman who talks a blue streak,
Has a voice that’s a maddening shriek.
But although she is yappy,
Her hubby seems happy.
(It must help that the man’s an antique.)

Just In Time For Mother’s Day (Limerick)

Sunday, May 12th, 2024

“You are so out of touch,” said the teen
To his mother, “and also you’re mean!”
“I do not like your tone,”
She said, seizing his phone.
“And now YOU’RE out of touch. No more screen!”

A Maddening Phrase (Limerick)

Tuesday, December 19th, 2023

“Let’s circle back later,” they say.
That phrase tries my patience, so NAY!
It’s a roundabout ploy
To evade and annoy…
Plus I’m dizzy. The answer’s NO WAY!

The Troublemaker (Limerick)

Thursday, November 9th, 2023

A man who inspired dissension
Had a penchant for whipping up tension.
He’d start trouble, then watch,
While sav’ring both scotch
And the “show” that was all his invention.

Gullible Limerick

Saturday, October 21st, 2023

Many gullible people will swallow
False assertions by folks whom they follow.
So why do they buy
Bunk from people who lie?
I’m betting their noggins are hollow.

Bar Fight (Limerick)

Saturday, August 26th, 2023

I gawked at a gent just last night,
Who judiciously broke up a fight
By emitting one bellow.
Seems each drunken fellow
On hearing the judge, saw the light.

The Local Know-It-All (Limerick)

Friday, August 25th, 2023

There’s a neighbor I try not to meet.
When I spot him, I’ll dart down the street,
For the man’s never terse,
And with chapter and verse
About topics diverse, he’s replete.

A Testy Exchange (Limerick)

Friday, June 16th, 2023

Said a grad student, seething, “I reckoned
That I’d surely be first, and not second.
My exam’s been mismarked!”
The peeved prof sternly barked:
“Your ego’s remarkably fecund!”

Food Leanings (Limerick)

Sunday, June 11th, 2023

I like dining on Asian cuisine,
Cooked with chicken or beef that is lean,
While chewing the fat
In a this-and-that chat
At our house. (I’ve the stay-at-home gene.)

The Con Man (Limerick)

Wednesday, May 17th, 2023

A con man would speak off the cuff,
Spouting all sorts of nonsense and guff.
Loyal crowds stretched for blocks.
“You should come host for Fox,”
Said a staffer. “You’ve got the right stuff!”

Pardon My French! (Limerick)

Monday, March 20th, 2023

I used to speak French fairly well,
But my accent is no longer belle,
And my “je ne sais quoi”
Is reduced to a blah.
(That damn phrase is a struggle to spell!)

(Happy UN French Language Day! — March 20)

The Key To Getting Along (Limerick)

Monday, October 17th, 2022

My new boss and I get along well.
What’s our secret? We both never tell
One another our views
On religion and news.
(I suspect, though, he’s going to hell.)

Happy National Boss Day!

The Confused Mom-To-Be (Limerick)

Wednesday, August 24th, 2022

A mother-to-be gave a shiver.
Her whole body was soon all-aquiver.
She sobbed: “As predicted,
My diet’s restricted.
Doc told me it’s time to de-liver.”

A Colorful Exchange (Limerick)

Sunday, August 7th, 2022

Sometimes, when I play with a new-to-me word, I get a bit silly:

“What color’s your purse?” asked a nurse.
“A deep purple?” The answer: “It’s ‘perse!’”
“Yes, I know. But what shade
Is your pocketbook’s suede?”
“I said ‘perse!’” (Plus a colorful curse.)
