Back in the Day - A Date with Sue

Back in the Day - A Date with Sue

This is a very short tale to relate.
Sue and I had only one date.
It was the end for us.
Sue would rather have Gus
and I wanted to date Sue's roommate.

I have moved on to my college years in my Back in the Day limerick series.  This one is from fall of my freshman year

Jockey Shorts

Jockey Shorts

It comes to me as a big surprise
they make jockey shorts for a man my size
unless of course
the company measured a horse
by mistake which they did not realize.

No one commented on the lack of annotation on yesterday's limerick, DJ Joe Beaudet.  Maybe I should re-title the blog Gary's Limericks and spare my dear readers the blither.

Joe Beau is a good guy to know
and he knows how to put on a show.
If you plan something big,
hire him for your gig!
I assure you the music won't blow.

Addiction

Addiction

If you are fighting a strong addiction,
I have for you a sad prediction.
a cranial synapse
will cause a relapse
and put you right back on the road to perdition.

Somehow my Dad managed to quit smoking.  Luckily I never started.  I don't know if I could have.

The Butter Cow at the Iowa State Fair

I don't really care 'why?' or 'how?'
a vandal spewed paint on the butter cow.
My attitude
is that you were rude!
You should be spanked on your bottom right now!

Yikes!  My Grandmother is speaking through my limericks!

Tiger Woods

It causes me consternation

when Tiger Woods gets all the attention.

'Though he's past his prime

he gets TV time

even when he's not in contention.

I'm not a fan.

Customer Service Said Throw It Away

Customer Service Said Throw It Away

Items are not made to last today
Instead we just throw them away.
They still work just fine
but it's replacement time.
"Debit or credit how do you wish to pay?"

A cell phone that needs a new battery.  A TV with its fuse soldered into the circuit board.  A printer with saturated ink pads.  A baby's car seat that has passed its expiration date.  The list goes on and on.
