Babbling About Brabbling (Limerick)

Wednesday, May 26th, 2021

Whether online or off, I hate brabbling;

Tends to stem from political dabbling.

Winning Arguments (Limerick)

Bill Murray Tweet: “It’s hard to win an argument with a smart person, but it’s damn near impossible to win an argument with a stupid person.”

Your opponent’s a clown?
Then your win-odds go down,
And your challenge is way off the chart.

Picked a fight with a long-standing foe.
It began with a curse.
He soon needed a nurse.
Now Joseph is missing a toe.
