A limerick...

Sat, 16 Apr 2005 20:30:19 GMT

A fellow named Nathan was clever
as a trained monkey pulling a lever
he spent most of his time
making poems with five lines
while his connection with reality severed

hi there

i've been away for some time
chipping away at the grime
got a new jobby
cleaning up after slobbies
now own house is covered in slime

bad mood

Thu, 25 Aug 2005 05:43:03 GMT

I clearly expressed my frustrations
trying for honesty in my relations
but you took it personal
and I think that the worst of all
is your unsympathetic interpretation

you're not the boss of me..

Sun, 05 Jun 2005 22:45:00 GMT

In my re-occuring problem with authority
Self-examination becomes a priority
When bossed I get riled
like an emotional child
Giving others the key to a door in me

limericks about children's play

Sat, 23 Apr 2005 03:49:28 GMT

let's sneak off and hide in the forest
these serious grown-ups just bore us
speak in whispers to me
while we climb up a tree
and our Mom's yell our names in a chorus

apple of my eye

mskayasattva — Mon, 08 Aug 2005 17:11:42 GMT

The apple of my eye
was born on the Fourth of July
I asked if we could marry
on a ship she said, "How 'bout a ferry?"
Now if only we can see eye to eye

Charmer

I knew a man who drove a white Cadillac
he thought he was the new de Bergerac
the ladies he would seduce
with impassioned words profuse
but for subtlety he just didn't have the knack

religio-political limericks

Tue, 19 Apr 2005 02:40:16 GMT

My apologies to the Christians who do not fit into the generalization of this poem.

the lord truly works in strange ways,
giving options of bi, straight, or gay
then creating the Christians
whose missionary position
is whiting out all blacks and grays

whatever will be

mskayasattva — Sat, 06 Aug 2005 03:15:20 GMT

I once met a fellow at Mardi Gras
who wore a pink and purple padded bra
he said his name was Peter
who loves to be a cheerleader
so I said, "Que sera sera."

I knew a woman with a stiff upper lip
she liked to be addressed as "Your Ladyship"
'til one day the maire d'
stirred in her cup of tea
a pinch of fresh catnip

cafe

in line at my favorite cafe
the chalk board menu I survey
it's the same on Mondays
as it is on Fridays
ginger scone and cafe au lait

Limericks about sitting in airports

Sat, 16 Apr 2005 20:33:26 GMT

Surrounded by one sided conversations
I ponder this social relation
Cell phones glued to people's ears
Voices too loud not to hear
It's an orgy of self-infatuation

limericks of painful life changes

Thu, 21 Apr 2005 19:14:41 GMT

How serious can we get with this traditionally silly poetic form?
Anyone else on this forum going through difficult life changes?

A newly-found limerick obsession
Gives me license for childish regression
but life's bigger patterns
like my returning Saturn
bring much more difficult lessons
