Limerick Goals
Three Word Wednesday asks us to write a poem using these three words: Amuse, Excite, Sincere. So I’ve used them in a limerick describing my goal in writing political limericks in my other blog.
Limerick Goals
By Madeleine Begun Kane
I’m sincere in expressing my views
And I try to excite and amuse.
I ain’t always polite:
It’s my duty to smite
Evil pols with each lim’rick j’accuse.

J’accuse yo of being the queen of Limericks ;)
J’accuse I love that
polite is over rated any way…smiles…say what you gotta say…
You certainly get your messages over! There must be a lot of grist to your mill in America at the moment!
Cool limerick…

Ps. Thanks for the visit and comment on my Magpie Post. Btw, what interview with Hank was it? Im not aware of it… :-))
Very nice weaving…
Until now, I don’t know how to write in this form ~
Excellent
Blessings
Thanks everyone for your kind comments!
Jj, Hank’s interview, which included shout-outs to some poets (you, me, a few others) is here.
Madeleine,
Gosh, to think it was on for only a day! Just as for your humor blog I would try to respond on JJ’s too, every time. Both are unique in your own particular ways. You with your limericks and JJ with his sincere and open stance.
I’ve followed your political blog but not every time. It’s heavy and I’m not familiar with the political scene. But with the re-election months away it’s going to be fun. Will put it on my blog list forthwith to make sure. Thanks Ma’am!
Hank
Hank, thanks again for your enthusiasm! Your interview over at Poets United was a delight.
Lilting–and deadly!
My 3WW
perfectomundo mad! well-thought out.
And, I’m glad that you do!
love it! the words fit so perfectly together here in explanation of your plight.
You made my rain filled drab day so bright!!
:D
Meditating for being one with you
If only I could smite by typing…
Brilliant. Evil pols? Is there any other kind? :-)
Love the final French flourish after proclaiming your abhorrence of the evil in politics!
Sick ’em, tiger!
Aren’t they all evil?
It is my opinion that there is much power in the pen, and you indeed seize that power!
I think you achieve your goals quite well indeed!
Ha! Any particular ‘rick you are accusing ;-) ?
Great lighthearted reading!
Keep on smiting! (And I am political science major, and I share your sentiments)
a smile with my morning coffee – how nice of you to entertain us so :)
I too think polite is over-rated… this made me smile. Thank you.
Politeness is overrated! Love your humor!
Love the language switch at the end! :)
j’accuse hits the spot!!
slowly it had to last
Thanks so much everyone for your kind comments!
A golfer, a bit of a nut,
Lived in golf-green, grass hut.
He could not master the putter
And was oft heard to mutter,
“I’m entrenched on the wrong side of the cut!”
