The Pompous Neighbor (Limerick)

Saturday, November 25th, 2023

Said a pompous new neighbor named Jess:
“What degrees have I earned? Come on, guess!”
My response was to lapse
Into rudeness, perhaps:
“I am sick of your crappy BS!”

Neighborly Blues (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane

A fellow was sweeping his leaves
While belting some recitatives.
“Quell that noise,” said a neighbor.
“Your mis-Handeled labor
Could well be jays lodged in your eaves.”

Trash Day
By Madeleine Begun Kane

On  trash day I set a tv
On the curb and before I could flee,
A neighborhood jerk
Yelled, “How well does it work?”
Guess he wanted a signed guaranty.

Streets lined with garbage:
Discarded chairs, broken lamps.
Scavengers’ treasure.
