I Won’t Sit Still For This (Limerick)
On November 7, I read an article about the latest, stupid Internet obsession: the Mannequin Challenge.
Needless to say, I wrote a limerick about it. However, I never posted my verse because … the election. Sigh…
Anyway, when Mark stumbled across this SNL Mannequin Challenge clip, I unearthed my buried-under-a-vale-of-tears limerick:
The #MannequinChallenge is here.
Strike a pose and don’t move. Persevere!
You may look like a fool,
But your pics will be cool,
Causing Instagram props to appear.

Be Still, My Ass ~
Frozen in time and in space,
With a nothingness look on my face,
Not a mannequin. No –
Just the cubicle woe
That I wear day-by-day: My workplace.
Spanking and Our Gang ~
Not long ago there was Planking
But it seem Mannequinning’s ourtranking
Such ven’rable appeal
With venereal zeal.
So I ask, “What come’s next?” Let’s hope Spanking!
Bide Thy Time ~
Although standing stock-still ain’t easy,
And you’ll find some spectators get queasy,
Do Nothing: Start Now –
(But you Can’t take a bow).
You’ll get more Posts and Twits if it’s sleazy.
Holding camera aloft, I grimace,
Then I pose for that vast Cyberspace.
As I contemplate skin
Plus my saggy-bag chin
There’s no glamour, but more In-Your-Face!
