The Man on the Moon
There once was a man on the Moon
Who dined with a runcible spoon.
     The dinner was splendid,
     And when it was ended
They played with a rainbow balloon.

Four:twenny
There once was a man from Kilkenny
Who purchased a pipe for a penny,
     Then filled it with wacky
     And woolly tobacky,
And smoked himself dumb at four:twenny.

Knickerspoo
There once was a man with a flu
Who ran in the night to the loo:
     He stubbed all his toes
     In consecutive rows
While filling his knickers with poo.

Smashing Platters
Because light and durable dinnerware
Is low-class and not debonair,
The china that shatters,
Those slippery platters,
Enliven dining with a jump-scare.
I still remember my grandmother's heavy gold-rimmed china.

Higgeldy piggeldy snort.
Higgeldy piggeldy snort
the pig ran away with the pork

nothing could stoppit
not even a rocket

and
the bacon
flew over
the fork.

Caltrops
Because a losing player tosses
Monopoly boards and their houses
Sharp corners await
Mom in her bare feet.
The agony one board-game causes!
I promise this is the last limerick about Monopoly, at least for a while.

Board Game Frustration
Hasbro makes a Monopoly game
Durable because sometimes we blame
The board for our troubles.  
We never roll doubles!
So flip the whole board.  This is lame!
The game of Monopoly was designed to be frustrating.  It's an indictment of capitalism.

:|§|: Boiling Over :|§|:
I put the pasta in the water
And watched the burner get hotter and hotter
But the water refused to boil
Sitting on the red hot coil
Then the instant I walked away it boiled over

Monopoly *******
It’s fun to collect money for passing
Go but ahead hotels are massing.  
Competitors bought
The railroads.  You’re caught!
You can’t outrun landlords by racing.
