An old boor who believes that he’s hot
Is considered decidedly NOT.
He’s called “too cool for school”
And an “arrogant fool
With less charm than your average bot.”

Boorish Limerick
Saturday, March 29th, 2025Fishing For A Limerick
Wednesday, March 26th, 2025For the record, I hate eating fish and I’ve never gone fishing. (But I had a fun time with the prompt word “catch.”)
We were s’posed to go fishing, but natch,
It’s too stormy again; we must scratch
All our catch-eating plans.
Guess I’ll open two cans
Of smoked trout. Why’s there always a catch?
Yet Another St. Patrick’s Day Limerick
Tuesday, March 18th, 2025My dear husband’s gone off to a pub.
I’ve stayed home cuz I hate all the grub
That they serve on this day.
Consume corned beef? No way!
Plus I’ve joined the new “Recluses Club.”
Windy Limerick
Sunday, March 16th, 2025My short height makes it hard to withstand
Heavy wind gusts. I’d rather not land
On the sidewalk face down.
Broken bones make me frown…
And I DON’T want more body parts scanned.
Jammed Up Limerick
Saturday, March 15th, 2025Can you help me get out of my jam?
I was eating some jelly and, damn,
It’s all over my dress
And I’m rather a mess,
So I need something STAT to look glam!
The Myopic Teacher (Haiku)
Friday, March 14th, 2025Myopic teacher
mistook inept coloring
for misbehavior.
The prompt for this haiku was “myopic” (plus a memorable personal experience.) When I was 4, my teacher punished me for not coloring within the lines. (I had very bad vision, which hadn’t yet been diagnosed.) And my teacher actually called my parents in to complain about my bad behavior. (My vision wasn’t tested till I was 9 and got coke bottle glasses.)
