Ancient woodlands’ bequest

The bluebells are blooming, it's that time of year
in the garden there under the tree
that gives shade from the sun
when their time has begun
for this lovely bright vision we see

Shoreham my home

Through a gap in the bushes
I spied Shoreham town
nestled there under the Downs
twixt me and the sea
safe there in the lea
the bearer of treasure and crowns

An Avoiding Marital Tension Limerick 1.1

A good option when things aren’t sounding too good.

A Wealth Inequality Gap Limerick

The ideological polarization of America shares one thing – discontent and frustration with wealth inequality. It won’t be long before the marginalized right and the marginalized left will realize they are both victims of the same evil…God help us then…

An It’s A Spring Thing Limerick

It’s that time of year when Love is in the Air
And a whole lotta pollen

A Pre-Masters Golf Limerick

A Great Game

Trump & MAGA MUST Be Crushed In the Upcoming Midterm Elections

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/jan/01/republicans-sow-outrage-trump-style-2022-midterms-house-senate

His MAGA cult still worships him
And they’d start a civil war on a whim.
Their warped fixation
On a white Christian nation
Makes America’s future look grim.

The Evolution of A Relationship From Infatuation to Flatulation

I saw this cartoon on Facebook and, like The Bard of Avon, I cannot resist a taking a shot at a fart joke with these eight lines and a limerick

A Not Gender Specific Time Management Limerick 1.1

Regardless of how aggravating and infuriating this is

A QANON Is A Clear And Present Danger Limerick

QANON spreading lies and fear,

With its unrighteous indignation?

An “If I Had A Dollar Every Time..” Limerick

We all know and have used that expression about the recurrence of things that seem to find their way into our lives. Mostly, insignificant things in the big picture, but things that happen enough times that we think that we would have accumulated a small fortune had we been remunerated every time they happened.

A “You Can’t Choose Your Parents, But…” Limerick

But no one chooses a psychopath and sociopath for a dad…unless….

A Pain In The Ass Limerick

I saw this poetry contest – https://painpoemprize.com – and I could not resist after I saw the mission statement – The conception and goal of Pain/Poem/Prize is to wed lyrical verse to wit and levity, poetry to playfulness, as a purposeful remedy for the dis-ease of our mortal human condition. Wit and self-effacing humor are a must!

 

That said, I knew I had something that was dead solid perfect for this contest

A Couple Of When You’re Not Getting Off On A Chill Pill Limericks

I get my inspiration for limericks from many things (other than politics.) Goofy things that goofy friends say and, of course, social media are good sources for jokes and punchlines. I saw this meme on Facebook and knew as soon as I saw it, it was a limerick or two waiting to happen.

I was watching a program of “classic” Jewish comedians and I turned it on in the middle of an old Borscht Belt routine being performed by Myron Cohen. He was telling a joke about one of my favorite subjects, Senior Sex, and I was riveted.

A When First Is Worst Limerick

Two of my favorite things are fun at the track and fun in the sack.

My inspiration….

A What We Know About The Insurrection Committee Limerick

A Trump Will Flip Limerick…like a pancake cook at IHOP

Michael Cohen, former personal attorney and “fixer” to Donald Trump, delivered a blunt warning Wednesday to the former president’s closest associates and even his own family.

“I think Donald Trump is going to flip on all of them,” he warned, “including his children.”
