The Old Man of Japan
There was an Old Man
Of Japan
     Whose limericks would never
     Ever
Scan.

Sneezer
There once was a sneezer named Rose
Who'd sneeze to the tips of her toes:
    She once sneezed so heinous
    She puked out her ****
And blew out her brains through her nose.

World Bamboo Day
When judging the tree by its fruits
The bamboo proponent imputes
             That this grass’s great power
             Lies not with its flower
But deep in its rhizomes and roots
September 18 is World Bamboo Day. Take a moment to embrace beauty, strength, resilience, flexibility, adaptability, and sustainability.

Buzzing Flies
The summer brings on buzzing flies.  
Those whirrings around ears and eyes
Strum lullabies that make
A sleeper **** awake
And aggravate miserable Julies.

Verbosity
All phrases that are pleonastic
And too redundant are bombastic.  
Verbose prolixity
Makes plodding poetry,
A sluggish, limping limerick.

Hogwarts House Goals
Keep a Slytherin with Gryffindor
They will wage a war.

Keep a Slytherin with Hufflepuff
Write an obituary for the latter.

Keep a Slytherin with Ravenclaw
It will be our doomsday for sure.

Empathy
We often get lost in our bubbles
Caught up in our very own troubles
But it’s equally rotten
For those we’ve forgotten
Remember that everyone struggles

Self Worth
When driven by mere acquisition
On the glittering path to perdition
You may seem to go far
But with no guiding star
You will fade like a dim apparition

The Mosquito
There once was a mosquito named Jack,
Who bit in the small of my back.
I scratched and I swore,
As she flew out the door,
Leaving me with an itchy attack!

****** Mosquitos – Literally
Personal to me

Big Sis
Big Sis was living in France,
Where she learned how to cook and to dance.
With a baguette in hand,
She felt life was grand,
And she twirled in a joyful trance!
My elder Sister lives part time in France - I could not leave her out of the limerick compilation.
