To cement a relationship's hard;
A big challenge, and that's no canard.
Issues shouldn't be ducked,
Else you might self-destruct.
(Then again, I am naught but a bard.)

Yet another night's sleep wrecked by noise!
How I loathe those loud motorized toys:
Roaring bikes, mowers, drills,
Power leaf blowers -- Ills
That invade with a sound that destroys.

You have told me to write a short verse;
An #acrostic, which makes matters worse.
Waking up to this task
Not refreshed, I must ask:
Stop sadistic demands. They're a curse!

Oh the sound of the oboe is great,
But the #reed making makes me irate.
Often reeds that seem fine
End up trashed. (Most of mine!)
So I envy the flute player’s fate.

"Put that down!" said the man to his wife.
"Knives are weapons! A threat to my life!"
"Calm your jets, my dear Dennis,"
She said. "It's no menace:
It's dull cuz you wrecked my fav knife."

Said a starry-eyed, non-boating male
To his wife, "Sammy's sailboat's for sale.
I must buy it! It's cheap!"
Her response was to weep
And reply "Better learn how to bail."

"My poor neighbor's not much of a saver,
So I did her a favor and gave 'er
Some financial advice.
Her reply was 'No dice!
I shall buy what I savor. Won't waver!'"

"I abhor cousin Stewy, it's true.
But don't judge me for feuding with Stu:
Yes I #harbor a grudge,
And I'm NOT gonna budge
Cuz he 'borrowed' and wrecked my canoe."

Said a woman, "It's easy to #lure me,
Because nothing can ever inure me
To fine choc'late's allure.
And of this I am sure:
There's undoubtedly NO way to cure me."

#Limerick Ode To Music Day

It’s Music Day. Toast it with verse.
Do it soon; there’s no time to rehearse.
Play an instrument, sing,
Simply listen, or swing…
Cuz a music-less life is a curse.

My Plea On #InternationalMusicDay:

Dear radio station, don’t pander;
Kindly program your music with candor.
Though I’d rather not carp
And I hate to sound sharp,
Calling “country harp” classical’s slander.

"Your nine dogs are a nuisance and blight,"
Said a neighbor. "They #bark day and #night.
Our whole block plans to sue."
Said the owner, "Boo-hoo!
Such ado! Let me know if they bite."

“Don’t go running with knives,” parents warn.
Their children’s response? Often scorn:
“How ’bout scissors?” they query,
Which makes one mom weary:
“Should have stopped with my very first born.”

An old woman who'd filed for divorce
From a golfer, who talked himself hoarse,
Watched her longwinded spouse
Rant and endlessly grouse,
Then replied, "This is par for the course."

My poor memory's often befogged,
Cuz by info inane it's been clogged.
Though bogged down, it tries hard,
But its fact-finding's marred:
It can't even find stuff that I've blogged.

A young fellow who hungered for power
Almost always looked angry; He'd glower
And he'd rage, then just stare,
But when met with a glare,
He (a delicate flower) would cower.
