This one is an LOL – I know I did after I finished writing it. Of course, self-admittedly, I regularly LOL at my own jokes!
The ridiculous remark about something being “better than sex” is most often used about eating something – an extravagant restaurant meal, a fancy dessert or a special dish whipped up by a loving partner. I suppose, it is some sort of complimentary remark made by someone who isn’t getting any and possibly trying to remedy that situation. Good luck with that.
And I know there are situations involving physical limitations where the expression (or the thought behind it) is used to make the best of the bad situation.
It’s been a while since I did one of these Classic Art Meme limericks. I saw this one today and it was screaming for five lines of wisdom, wit and rhyme, so I made it happen.
With Thanksgiving just two days away, the creative Classic Art Meme digital designers have been very busy on Facebook putting there special CAM spins on the classic holiday. I saw this one and I put my spin on it
The Classic Art Memes are great Muses for someone trying to amuse you
Today Stress Management is as easy as a modern adaptation of an old Yellow Pages ad, – “let you fingers do theshopping” – a few mouse clicks and a Grande White Chocolate Mocha (my personal fave) away
I love these Classic Art Memes. I think it is cool how these graphic creators can add humorous text to an old painting and turn it into a meme internet post that generates engagement…which is exactly what I am trying to do when I take one of the CAM’s and find a limerick lurking in it. This one was a fun one for me.
This past summer I entered a poetry contest for a condom company where the winning poem was going to adorn the wrapper of their penis wrapper. I thought that I had a shot as sent in a pretty good limerick, if I must say so myself. And that apparently is the case because I did not make the finals. And I was not impressed with the ones that did – just saying!
Dream Big, I always say. I have been dreaming about publishing a humor poetry book for a very long time. I have written well over a thousand poems, four and eight line poems and limericks. What is keeping me from making my dream come true? ME. I just can’t put in the time and effort necessary to do the real work – editing, formatting, producing a viable product and suffering through the querying process to find someone who thinks my stuff is worth publishing…and, of course, I do. The fun part, writing a poem/joke I do effortlessly…and I laugh at my own jokes
I am a pathological dreamer With more ideas than there are stars in the sky. And there’s a chance I might make my dream come true If I get off my lazy ass and try!
How does one become unexpectedly rich? Someone, maybe a rich relative who’s ass you’ve been kissing for years, dies and leaves you money? You might have a misguided sense of entitlement that this could happen. And imagine your disappointment when you discover that Aunt Lilly left a million bucks to an animal rescue shelter and all that you got was a $5 McDonald’s gift card.
I am pretty sure that the way most people dream that they are going to become unexpectedly rich by winning the lottery. Yes, someone has to win…but I am also pretty sure that there’s a better chance that you’ll grow wings and fly before you win the lottery. That said…you can’t win if you don’t play!
The expression “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing” originally appeared as A little learning is a dangerous thing’ in Alexander Pope’s poem written in 1711, ‘An Essay on Criticism’. It later became the proverb as we know it today. Sadly, it is both the truth and a sign of the times.
After seeing this meme, I had a “been there, done that” LOL moment and then that voodoo that I do happened and it led to this – But before I get to the limerick, here’s a little 4-liner about first impressions. I had this on my computer dating profiles when I used to do that stuff a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
