Back in the Day - A Girl Named Julie

Back in the Day - A Girl Named Julie

In English class a girl named Julie
sat close enough to give me a cootie.
She aced her essay,
I had little to say.
She earned an A, I eked out a C.

I have a few Back in the Day limericks that will appear in the coming weeks.  They are semi-autobiographical works about my high school days.

In other news dear readers I have nearly exhausted my backlog of good limericks.  Now that a large portion of my limerick library have been published to the blog, the pace of future postings will decrease.  I hope that you go back and reread and comment on your favorites.  I will continue to post new ones and a few more good ones (and probably some bad ones) so stay tuned to this blog!

Pleasant Valley Farm

Pleasant Valley Farm

The doctor's oath to do no one harm
is ignored here at Pleasant Valley Farm.
My frontal lobotomy
was done pharmaceutically
after my escape was foiled by the alarm!

Please come and visit at Pleasant Valley Farm but be sure not to lose your visitor's pass.

Blue Tears

Blue Tears

When the Chicago Cubs lose it's true
the tears that I hold back are blue.
But when the Cubs win
let the crying begin
if it takes another century or two.

Spring training is in progress.  It will soon be opening day.

St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick's Day

I let my old lady have her say
and forswore beer in the lenten way,
but I might be seen
drinking beer that is green
'cause I gave up lent for St. Patrick's day.

Happy St. Patrick's Day dear readers!

My Beautiful Backyard

My Beautiful Backyard

When I look outside and wish real hard
I envision a beautiful yard.
But with thistles and weeds
and dandelion seeds
My lush lawn is everywhere scarred.

It is approaching springtime.  Thoughts turn to lush, beautiful lawns and yards

All Men

All Men

All men live by a simple creed.
All men fight and, when cut, they bleed.
There's not a man born
unaddicted to porn.
The internet was sure to succeed.

I apologize dear readers.  All Men starts nobly but quickly degenerates (sort of like the internet itself).

The King of Pop

The King of Pop

Michael was called the king of pop
when his videos put him up on top.
The kid was a killer
With Beat It and Thriller
after that his life went kerplop!

A downhill spiral that was painful to see.
