Bamboozled By My Brain (Limerick)
In the course of my constant perusal
Of email, I learned a word: “foozle.”
Though I’ve read it means “bungle,”
My mind is a jungle.
So recall it long-term? Brain refusal!
*********
NOTE: No doubt limerick experts are tempted to tell me that Foozle and Refusal don’t rhyme because Refusal has an F at the beginning of the 2nd syllable. However, I’d argue that Refusal is pronounced like “Re fyou sal” or “Ref you sal” and therefore sounds different enough to be a rhyme.

The Rite of Re-Foozle
In the lie of the ball poorly hit
is the truth those who golf won’t admit —
the most homage they’ve paid
to the foozles they’ve made
is a vow not to practice or quit.
