by Joel Kravitz

A Real Danger To America

Artwork by Donnie Purcell

I wrote these limericks back in 2020. After Trump was defeated, I thought he would “go away,” literally and figuratively – go build hotels and golf courses in Russia, or something like that. Didn’t happen, because diseases don’t just go away, they become lethal.

An Answer To The Trending Internet Question – “What Will Your Thanksgiving Menu Be?” Limerick

by Joel Kravitz

Thanksgiving dinner

Internet Foodies are in a frenzy. They can only think about what are they going to make for Thanksgiving, how will they serve it, what will the table look like, and how much leftovers will there be? They are focused on the feast. Me, not so much. Don’t get me wrong, I love turkey, stuffing et all, but I can do without the fixing it. Then while amusing myself surfing the net reading the foodie fantasies, I discovered the answer to the “I can do without fixing it” dilema is in a can. WooHoo!

A National Ice Cream Sandwich Day Limerick

by Joel Kravitz

ice cream sandwich day

The ice cream sandwich ranks as the second best-selling ice cream novelty in America. The average number of ice cream sandwiches eaten per second nationally is 48. Versions of the ice cream sandwich have been around since the turn of the twentieth century with the rectangular shaped cookies and vanilla ice cream sandwich being introduced in 1945

The cookie and ice cream combination
Has been a long-time sensation.
The frozen novelty treat
Can not be beat….
And now there’s an Ice Cream Sandwich Day celebration.

A National Fortune Cookie Day Limerick

by Joel Kravitz

fortune cookie
“A fortune cookie is a crisp and sugary cookie wafer usually made from flour, sugar, vanilla, and sesame seed oil with a piece of paper inside, a “fortune”, usually an aphorism, or a vague prophecy.” Like, “If you eat too many hot dogs on National Hot Dog Day expect digestive distress.” Actually, they don’t give advice as good as that.
