I write #rhymes night and day ev’ry year.
My addiction is brutal.

And I warrant the fault lies with #Lear.
Happy birthday, #EdwardLear, and Happy #LimerickDay!

A man who is lacking in pride
Goes to funerals far, near, and wide;
When they ask, “Who is dead?”
He shakes his old head:
“I dunno—I just come for the ride.”

There once was an old guy named Dave
Who was quite the goddamn knave
He confused his wallet with Boeing
So planes started breaking
Now FAA is ensuring even more graves

TRUMP PAINTS A REFLECTING POOL
Donald Trump is too dumb to reject
A plan with an obvious defect
..without any constraint
..he is using blue paint
In a pool that’s supposed to reflect.

If you've got eggs or spermatozoan
Hold on one sec
for a genital check
by the bathroom police ‘fore you go in.

Today is National Limerick Day. Here's one for you:
We have listings now on Petfinder
This is just a little reminder
If you want a cat
We can handle that
Their person, could you help us find her?

“There was a young girl named Phyl,
who seldom, if ever she will.
But when queried whether she won’t,
she replied, “I’d rather you don’t,
but if you’d like, I’ll send you a bill.’”

In my school there's a strange, sticky lass.
We smell glue every time she walks past.
When caught eating paste
teacher asked with distaste,
“Did you bring enough for the class?”

Cold revenge is the entree he dishes.
He kissed Scarface's daughter,
now face down in the water,
Mac’s a seven course meal for the fishes.
I'm having fun writing some new #LimerickDay rhymes.
