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.
A WAYNE ON OUR RESOURCES – SWEARING-OUT
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.
Just had to do two more. Here they are:
A-WAYNE OUT WEST
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.
These are all wonderful. Thanks!
