Brassy Limerick
\nBy Madeleine Begun Kane<\/p>\n

A brassy old woman named Joan
\nLoves the trumpet, but hates the trombone.
\nWhen people ask why
\nShe says, “Married a guy
\nWho played bone with a terrible tone.”<\/p>\n

She continues, “He made my head ache,
\nAnd he played it all night, for God’s sake.
\nI divorced him on grounds
\nOf cacophonic sounds.
\nThen I wed a French horn-playing rake.”<\/p>\n

“He cheated on me day and night.
\nSo I fin’ly said, go fly a kite!
\nNow I’m single again
\nAnd I’ll never date men
\nWho play brass, cuz those guys ain’t polite.”<\/p>\n

Please feel free to write your own limerick using the same first line and post it in my comments. And if you\u2019re on Facebook<\/a>, I hope you\u2019ll join my friends in that same activity in my Limerick-Offs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
