It’s Trivia Day, says some screed,
A trivial fact, I’ll concede.
But I doubt that you’re stunned,
Cuz just when have I shunned
Any op for a frivolous read?
(National Trivia Day is January 4.)

Limerick Ode To Yet Another Insignificant Holiday
Monday, January 4th, 2016Limerick Ode To Drinking Straw Day (Jan. 3)
Saturday, January 2nd, 2016Few inventions inspire my awe,
But I’m rather impressed with the straw.

Is suggestive of lubes…
Although straw men still stick in my craw.
(National Drinking Straw Day is celebrated on January 3, in honor of Marvin Stone’s January 3, 1888 patent.)
So This Is My Limerick Q & A About Over-Using The Word “So”
Friday, January 1st, 2016Dear Interviewees: Kindly stop using the word “so” at the beginning of your answers to questions.
Q: “Why do folks start their answers with ‘So…'”?
A: “So I guess that they use it for flow.”
Q: “Don’t they know that it’s wrong?”
A: “So their habit’s so strong,
They believe that they sound ‘in the know.'”

To draw up a vow-list, the mission
Being clean up one’s act
In some way. But in fact,
Our lapses soon lead to contrition.
