Acrid remnants of forests that burned
Nowhere near New York City
Have turned our air gritty.

Smoky Days Are Here Again (Limerick)
Friday, June 30th, 2023Risky Ramble (Limerick)
Tuesday, December 6th, 2022When I encounter a new-to-me word, I often challenge myself to use it in a limerick. Today’s ancient and obscure, but (lucky for me) rhymable word is “cramble.” (As a noun, it refers to broken tree branches thrown to the ground and usable for craft or firewood.)

In his quest for good fireplace cramble.
Soon a fire would blaze,
And before it we’d gaze,
As he bandaged his wounds from the bramble.

Stay indoors, avert eyes…
Or give gard’ners some clothes they can borrow.

An inventive new golf misdemeanor
Is attack Tiger Woods with a wiener.
Yes, a hot dog was thrown
And a frank critique shown.
It could have been worse: Orangina?
