“How on earth do you NOT have the blues?
You seem super serene. Is it booze?”
The rejoinder came fast:
“I’m not sad or aghast
Cuz I always skip reading the news.”

Doomscrolling Limerick
Saturday, January 24th, 2026Though I shouldn’t, I doomscroll each day,
Which is NOT a great way to feel gay.
So I’m frequently gloomy.
My fault? Yes, so sue me!
I’ll stop when those fiends go away.

NOT Blue About Bluesky (Limerick)
Sunday, November 17th, 2024If you long to avoid Twitter’s knaves,
Its competitor, Bluesky, gets raves!
Countless sane folks have fled
Elon’s X and instead
Have joined Bluesky — now one of my faves.

Dear FB Friend-Requester (Limerick)
Friday, November 8th, 2024To the “doctor” who wants to be pals:
All your “follows” on Facebook are gals.
Plus “your” pics look too dishy.
Both factors seem fishy.
Go phish in some other locales!

Dear Facebook Friend-Requester (Limerick)
Thursday, August 15th, 2024I’m amazingly popular with “male” bot “surgeons.” (Also “generals.”) Hence this limerick:
My dear friend-request sender, I vet
All such queries. The answer is NYET!
Why my thundering NO?
Cuz I’d bet lots of dough
That your Doc-Surgeon bio’s all wet!

Gullible Limerick
Saturday, October 21st, 2023Many 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.

Prank Gone Wrong (2-Verse Limerick)
Tuesday, July 11th, 2023An illustrious author named Frank
Said “I’ll stop writing books” as a prank.
Many fans called him “Quitter,”
Strew hate-posts on Twitter
And Threads, wished him dead, said he stank.“You flamers should all be ashamed!
I was joking,” Frank quickly proclaimed.
“But because of your bitching,
Right now I am switching
My genre. And YOU shall be blamed!”

Taking Refuge In Limericks
Tuesday, February 21st, 2023“Two weeks at a refuge sounds sweet,”
Said a stressed-out young woman. “I’m beat!”
When she got there, a crone
Said “Hand over your phone!”
So the gal beat a hasty retreat.

The Skeptical Troll (Limerick)
Friday, January 13th, 2023A skeptical troll who delights
In arguing, often starts fights
On Bluesky and Twitter.
Ignore all his litter.
He’s bitter when nobody bites.

International Skeptics Day is celebrated each year on the first Friday The 13th of the Year.

Limerick Ode To Elon “I Love Free Speech” Musk
Friday, December 16th, 2022Musk famously praises free speech.
Yet he’s guilty of breach after breach,
Like his journo suspensions
For negative mentions.
Time to practice, dear Musk, what you preach!

Haiku Duo re the Twitter Exodus
Friday, November 18th, 2022Elon won’t miss me;
he doesn’t know I exist.
Yet mock Musk, I must.

Twitter refugee
with one toe still a-tweeting.
I can’t look away.

Limerick Ode To Mastodon (or whatever I’m supposed to call it)
Friday, November 18th, 2022I am just getting used to this place,
And it seems like a welcoming space.
Though I feel like a pup,
I am glad I signed up.
Can I ace it? I’d settle for grace.

Mad About Mastodon (Limerick)
Wednesday, November 16th, 2022Twitter appears to be on the verge of collapse. And the most suitable replacement is Mastodon, which I joined a week ago.
I’m still getting to know the neighborhood, but so far, so good. (Right now I’m still on Twitter and toggling between the two social media sites.) Here’s where to find me on Mastodon.
And now, the requisite limerick:
I am NOT quitting Twitter, just yet,
But as owners go, Musk is all wet:
He’s destroying the place!
Should we join (just in case)
A Mastodon server? You bet!

Limerick Ode To Elon Musk (2-Verse)
Monday, November 7th, 2022Dear Elon, I’m very impressed!
As blunders go, yours are the best!
I’d assumed you were smart,
But you’ve mastered the art
Of destroying your pricey, new nest.
Primo content providers are pissed.
Key staff has been rashly dismissed.
Twitter ad-buyers flee,
While ignoring your plea.
Your mistakes are too many to list!

Wrongfully Accused! (Limerick)
Friday, August 5th, 2022A couple of years ago, I started posting my limericks on Facebook in image form. To ensure that, if they were shared, my authorship was clear, I’d include a copyright notice and my site’s URL in NON-CLICKABLE form. And, until a couple of weeks ago, this has worked out fine.
What happened a couple of weeks ago? A Wordle-related group, where I’d post the very occasional Wordle-related limerick (which its members seemed to enjoy) suspended me. Apparently, having a NON-clickable URL in an image makes me a spammer. Hence this limerick:
I’m pissed off at a group! Its contention
Is I warrant a spam-rule suspension.
My offense? Each verse pic
Has a link you can’t click,
Whose purpose is lim-theft prevention.

NOT Celebrating World Emoji Day (Limerick)
Sunday, July 17th, 2022I’ll admit it: Emojis confuse me.
If you post one, you’re likely to lose me,
For I stare at them blankly.
I tell you this frankly:
Nix pics! Only words can amuse me.
(July 17th is World Emoji Day.)

Facebook Gripes (Limerick)
Monday, March 7th, 2022While on Facebook, folks often complain
About comments that drive them insane.
If you’re truly annoyed,
They’re a breeze to avoid:
“Unfollowing” blocks all that pain.

When I Rise, I Don’t Shine (Limerick)
Monday, November 1st, 2021Ev’ry day when I rise, hubby greets me
With political news, which depletes me.
He’s eager to share it,
But I just can’t bear it,
Cuz pre-caffeine info defeats me.

Humor Disharmony (Limerick)
Friday, September 10th, 2021NOTE: While the last line of this limerick is true, it’s NOT a plea for sympathy. My real purpose in writing it was to play with the idiom “fall flat.”
My wisecrack failed right off the bat.
Not one “like!” Not one “LOL!” That was that!
’Twas a musical jest,
But I guess, not my best.
I feel low when my humor falls flat.
