Be cautious, but also be brave.
Do NOT be a miser, but save.
Be proud, but don’t brag.
Be strict, but don’t nag.
Stay true to yourself . . . but behave!

Excessive Advice (Limerick)
Wednesday, October 21st, 2026A Flawed Plan (Limerick)
Monday, October 19th, 2026“I’m aware that my boyfriend has flaws.
And I know that he’s broken some laws.

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.”
Noisy Annoyances (Limerick)
Wednesday, October 14th, 2026Yet another night’s sleep wrecked by noise!

Roaring bikes, mowers, drills,
Power leaf blowers — Ills
That invade with a sound that destroys.
Too Tired To Go Acrostic? (Limerick)
Monday, October 12th, 2026You have told me to write a short verse;

The Feud (Limerick)
Tuesday, October 6th, 2026“I abhor cousin Stewy, it’s true.

The Lure (Limerick)
Tuesday, October 6th, 2026Said a woman, “It’s easy to lure me,
Because nothing can ever inure me
To fine choc’late’s allure.

There’s undoubtedly NO way to cure me.”
Bogged Down Brain (Limerick)
Sunday, September 27th, 2026My poor memory’s often befogged,
Cuz by info inane it’s been clogged.
Though bogged down, it tries hard,
But its fact-finding’s marred:
It can’t even find stuff that I’ve blogged.
Happy National Punctuation Day! (Limerick)
Thursday, September 24th, 2026“Exclamation points ought to be rare,”

The Arguer (Limerick)

Not A-Mused? (Limerick)
Wednesday, September 9th, 2026There are times when I feel so inspired,
Rhymes erupt from my brain, and I’m wired.

(This ain’t one of those days; muse seems tired.)
The Bad Boss (Limerick)
Tuesday, September 8th, 2026“My new boss is a scurrilous hound,”

Stately Clues (Limerick)
Friday, September 4th, 2026I have noticed that folks at the helm
Of the NYT “Daily Games” realm
Will include (at least lately)
In clues the word “stately” . . .

Is Drone Delivery All Wet? (Limerick)
Wednesday, September 2nd, 2026“Amazon drone drops package into swimming pool”

And your yard has a pool, make this known,
Else your package might drown
When the drone throws it down
And it sinks like an overpriced stone.
