Clichéd Limerick

I’m playing with clichés today:

Clichéd Limerick
By Madeleine Begun Kane

I try to think outside the box,
But sometimes those boxes have locks.
And to break myself free
With creative esprit,
I have to be crazy like fox.

UPDATE: Happy Cliché Day, November 3rd!

    Speaking of crazy ole Fox
    who mislead in re-framed political talks
    They confused pundit galore
    as they screwed old Al Gore
    and made fun of the needed Lock Box

    She shot off like a bat out of hell,
    As a cliche would have it, ‘pell-mell’!
    Did a terrible fright
    Make her run out of sight?
    I’m afraid I’m unable to tell.

    I like it, Rinkly. But now I’m in the mood for meat loaf. :)

    Madeleine, the first one, with the line, “crazy like fox”? If you read it with a Russian accent (a la Natasha Fatale from Bullwinkle and Rocky), I guarantee you will laugh out loud!! Great work, and fun, too. Needed that belly laugh, so thanks! Amy

    I occasionally think outside the box
    Especially when it comes to news from Fox
    But no matter how hard I try
    That shit just doesn’t seem to fly
    For the truth, they seem to keep under locks.
