My Advice To Spammers (Limerick)
My Advice To Spammers
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Dear spammers, I wish you’d take heed.
A spell-check is something you need.
Though I’m surely no Freud,
You should really avoid
Sending “greeting” cards spelled more like “greed.”
Feel free to write your own limerick using the same first line and post it in my comments. And if you’re on Facebook, please join my friends in that same activity in my limerick-offs.

That was such an appropriate limerick, Mad. :P
Here’s mine:
Dear spammers, I wish you’d take heed:
What you advertise I do not need.
What you sell I don’t want.
You can spam ’til you’re gaunt.
Your messages I will not read!
Dear spammers, I wish you’d take heed:
Your e-mail the Net doesn’t need.
You’re a much-reviled pest,
An unwelcome guest.
Begone now, with all haste and speed!
Dear spammers, I wish you’d take heed.
Nigerian prince I don’t need.
Transfer your own dough,
Cause all of us know,
Your spam is quite simply your greed.
Dear spammer I wish you’d take heed,
Your persistence I’ll gladly concede,
Sex and drugs can fun,
If you’re with the right one,
But yours are a fake I don’t need.
here’s my take – perhaps I shouldn’t rhyme the whole thing? fun though
dear spammers, I wish you’d take heed
please stop with your continued plead
fools might not flee
but I will surely see
you’re nothing but dead weed
Fine limerick MadKane – Yours are always a good darned read and worth a giggle or two.
Dear spammers, I wish you’d take heed
How few drugs I desperately need.
I’m not embarrassed
My range ain’t the rarest,
Much better than size is the seed!
Dear spammers, I wish you’d take heed
Your ranting and raving makes fingertips bleed!
My wee pads are scabby
From deleting the blabby
And blocking your words with due speed!
This one fits two prompts – as my post contains multiple limericks.
;-)
UNDERPAID DAREDEVIL – FUN WITH LIMERICKS
Thanks for the kind words Tumblewords. And thanks to everyone for your limericks.
Hi Mad Kane,
Catherine and I want to thank you and Mark for a very entertaining weekend indeed. We just got home and wanted to say hello.
Here’s one for you:
Dear spammers, I wish you’d take heed:
Your emails I really don’t need
My penis is fine
Investments: divine
Well…maybe just one naked Swede!
Hi Ron and Catherine. Mark and I had a great time too and look forward to more once you’ve moved to Cold Spring. And Ron, I loved your limerick and hope to see many more from you.
Thanks for submitting to my online marketing blog carnival! I just published your submission. Loved your Limerick!
Thanks, Bill!
