A felon was caught and convicted
Of serious acts interdicted.
After serving his time
He arranged for "sublime
Sweet revenge," not the least bit #conflicted.

A fellow was given the slip
By a woman aboard a large ship.
He’d thought her his mate —
His ocean trip fate —
But he never had time to unzip.

A talkative fellow who'll #jaw
About politics, science, and law,
Mostly has his facts wrong,
But starts arguments, long . . .
Which he "wins" via men made of straw.

I went shopping for something to eat.
With chicken and fish they’re replete.
They have plenty of peas,
And all manner of cheese,
But they really should beef up their meat.

With constrained poetry I #explore
That old writing trope 'less is more'
But some prompts I forgo
If I can't find my flow
And my muse bemoans "Now it's chore!" 😩

Hear tell of the fair siren, Seine
Quite known for her epic #sustain
Though her sisters resented
Their voices prevented
From luring their own seamen swain

Said a fellow, “Alas and alack,
My new pants are too #tight in the back
And the front of the waist.
(They were ordered in haste.)
I need someone to cut me some slack.”

An odd fellow who fell off a ledge,
Had been saved by an overgrown hedge.
"I was stoned. Tried to fly,"
Said the grateful young guy.
"Guess those drugs really are 'bleeding edge.'"

Playing poker, Neil felt like a heel.
But he gambled with passionate zeal,
Using cash that was meant
For the rent — ev’ry cent.
So his win was a very big deal.

I beseech ye of moderate plays:
Thise midterms soon #commence!
Get thine arse off the fence!
Put the torch to theirn foul fascist ways!

Dear deer, you’re adorable, true.
But there’s one thing about you, I rue:
Your habit of munching
And supping and lunching
On fruit my hub’s hoping to chew.

Ich habe seit meiner Schulzeit keine #Limericks geschrieben , aber als ich da gerade durchfuhr , drängte es mich. Und, wie isses?

Es war ein Mann in Remagen,
Der wollte zum Essen mal Reh wagen.
Das gelang ihm nicht recht,
Und ihm wurde schlecht.
Jetzt hört man ihn lang und breit wehklagen.

Dearest Traitor, my problems are solved:
I have learned you are deeply #involved
In a scheme meant to screw me,
To sue and undo me.
You'll pay right on cue -- unabsolved!

Why yes, I'm an #autumnal #freak
As an October kid, Fall is peak
But Pumpkin Spice sucks
So fuck off, Starbucks
Halloween's what I crave, bring the shriek!

Many people can NOT be persuaded
To rethink their convictions; they're jaded
By the lies they've been told
And relentlessly sold.
Unconvince them? That pipe dream's long faded.

Though I try not to act like a grump
And I certainly don't mean to dump
On the people who swear
"Karma's real," I must air
This rough dare: Please explain Donald Trump.

Am I targeting Trump with my verse?
That vile man whose behavior gets worse
With each day that goes by?
Yes I am, and here's why:
Donald's reign is a scourge and a curse!
