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."

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.

#MusicDay #Music #ClassicalMusic #Humor #Humour #Limerick #Limericks #Poetry #LightVerse #BlueskyPoets #Poem

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.

A 3d #PunctuationDay #Limerick:

"Exclamation points ought to be rare,"
Said a writer, who'd forcefully share
All his adamant views
Which, unwelcomed, drew boos.
"Use them sparingly! Better yet . . . ne'er!"

Another #Limerick for #PunctuationDay:

When you write, #punctuation is key.
It can clarify meaning, you see.
Use each comma with care.
Excess bangs? Don't you dare!!!!
If you're #slapdash your mark shall be D!

A #Limerick for #PunctuationDay:

When you #punctuate, please don’t be rash.
Over-use can turn prose into ash.
And a #comma misplaced
Lays your writing to waste.
Mark my words … or your readers shall dash.

An old woman was feeling discarded
By her husband, her views disregarded:
He had made a huge fuss
When she tried to discuss
Major issues, & called her "retarded."

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.
