Commuter Woes

It’s time for another limerick-off.  Feel free to write your own limerick, using the same first line, and post it in my comments and on Facebook.

Commuter Woes (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane

There once was a fellow named Wayne
Who commuted each day on the train.
The fare was a crime.
It was rarely on time,
Yet was faster than taking a plane.

    There once was a fellow named Wayne
    whose everyday speech was profane.
    When he tried to speak nice
    his head felt like a vice,
    So he opted for just the inane.

    That was great, Mad!

    Here’s mine:

    There once was a fellow named Wayne,
    A narcissist filled with disdain.
    Though he thought himself best
    In north, east, south and west,
    Most folks counted his company bane.

  3. There once was a fellow named Wayne
    Who reveled in doling out pain.
    He’d trip little boys and smash all their toys
    And pour their fruit punch down the drain.

    There once was a fellow named Wayne
    Whose face was extraordinar’ly plain.
    He couldn’t get dates for shows or shared plates,
    So he wed a blind girl with a brain.

  4. Just had to do two more. Here they are:

    A-WAYNE OUT WEST

  5. There was a fellow named Wayne
    Whose ten gallon hat was insane.
    Instead of carryin’
    His real name Marion,
    He sent it back on a mid-western train.

    Nice one, Mad. And Mark, I like your updated version. Got me thinkin’…

    There once was a fellow named Wayne —
    John the Savior, in Prez Reagan’s brain;
    And now “Peacemaker” missiles,
    All bristling and fissile,
    His tribute to Wayne, dot the plain.
