“Common sense” is alarmingly rare;
Few folks have a sensible flair.
So the term makes no sense;
A misnomer immense!
“Common denseness” prevails, so beware!
(Use Your Common Sense Day is celebrated on November 4th.)

Limerick Ode To “Use Your Common Sense Day”
By Madeleine Begun Kane
There are people with brilliance immense
Who lack, nonetheless, common sense.
Despite great comprehension,

“Wear clothing. This blizzard’s intense.”
Limerick Ode To The GPS

Limerick Ode To The GPS
By Madeleine Begun Kane
If your car’s GPS tells you, “Go,”
But there’s water ahead, you should know
That it’s better to park.
Check your map. Find an ark.
Or else gear up for driving in l’eau.
UPDATE: April 5 is Read A Road Map Day.
