My Ornery Brain (Limerick)

#WordedArt #vsspoem #Crowd #Words #Language #Limerick #Limericks #Rhyme #Humor #Humour #Poetry #MicroPoetry #LightVerse #Verse

I find learning new words a delight.
But my mind disagrees; it’s a fight!
Seems my crowded old brain
Deems such efforts a strain;
It evicts other words, just for spite.

Penniless Limerick
http://www.madkane.com/humor_blog/2025/06/01/penniless-limerick/

#WordedArt #Language #Idioms #Money #LimerickSunday #Limerick #Limericks #Rhyme #Humor #Humour #Poetry #LightVerse

Since production of pennies is ending,
Is it time for some idiom-mending?
Must the penny be spurned?
Nickel saved, nickel earned?
Dime for thoughts? Is “cute quarter” ascending?

NOT “Mr. Personality” (Limerick)

#HaikuChallenge #Impact #Limerick #Limericks #Rhyme #Humor #Humour #Poetry #MicroPoetry #LightVerse #Verse #Poems #PoetryCommunity

An old man (who just died) was an ass;
Rather nasty and given to sass.
He, alas, wasn’t tactful.
His gibes were impactful.
(NOT packed full — his funeral Mass.)

Weathering Spring (Limerick)
http://www.madkane.com/humor_blog/2025/05/28/weathering-spring-limerick/

#BlueskyRelay #Spring #Weather #Limericks #Rhyme #Humor #Humour #Poetry #MicroPoetry #LightVerse #Poems #PoetryCommunity

I wonder just what is the reason
Why spring’s such an ornery season.
First it’s cold, then it’s hot,
Then it’s icy, then not —
Makes me ask whether spring is just teasin’.

Kitchen Duties (Limerick)

#HaikuChallenge #Hone #Food #Cuisine #Limerick #Limericks #Rhyme #Humor #Humour #Poetry #MicroPoetry #LightVerse #Poems

Hubby’s cooking is NOT to be missed.
My job’s cleanup; that’s how I assist.
Hone my skills at the stove?
‘Twould be pointless, by Jove,
For my cooking-chops just don’t exist.

Whistling In The Wind #Limerick
http://www.madkane.com/humor_blog/2025/05/22/whistling-in-the-wind-limerick/

#BlueskyRelay #Whistle #Musicians #Music #Limerick #Limericks #Rhyme #Humor #Humour #Poetry #MicroPoetry #LightVerse #PoetryCommunity

I have never been able to whistle.
“So who cares?” you might say in dismissal.
But a gal who can toot
On the oboe and flute
Should be able to whistle a bissel.

Whiny Writer (Limerick)

#DailyHaikuPrompt #Rust #WritersBlock #Writers #Writing #Limerick #Limericks #Rhyme #Humor #Humour #Poetry #MicroPoetry #LightVerse #Verse #Poems #PoetryCommunity

Whined a writer, I’m rusty and blocked.
I just can’t get my juices unlocked.
It’s the fault of my muse
Who’s gone AWOL. J’accuse!
Can’t remember the last time we talked.

Tricky Magician (Limerick)

#vss365 #Matrix #Limerick #Limericks #Rhyme #Humor #Magic #Humour #Poetry #MicroPoetry #LightVerse #Verse #Poems #PoetryCommunity

That magician is handsome and nice.
But I only went out with him twice:
He’s obsessed with The Matrix
And kept doing date tricks.
I HATE tricks, so date him? No dice!

Colorful Limerick

#BlueskyRelay #Green #Limerick #Limericks #Rhyme #Humor #Humour #Poetry #MicroPoetry #LightVerse #Verse #Poems

A young fellow scrawled something quite mean
In bright orange, dark red, and lime green.
I must hasten to note
I don’t mind what he wrote.
But that color scheme? Grossly obscene!

The Naïf (Limerick)

#BlueskyRelay #Trusting #HaikuChallenge #Limerick #Limericks #Rhyme #Humor #Humour #Poetry #MicroPoetry #LightVerse

“You’re too trusting! Stop being naive!
You’ve been conned. You’re a snap to deceive.
I can tell from one look
That your boyfriend’s a crook.
Your credulity’s hard to believe!”

Bad Audition (Limerick)
http://www.madkane.com/humor_blog/2025/05/13/bad-audition-limerick/

#BlueskyRelay #Lead #Acting #Films #Limerick #Limericks #Rhyme #Humor #Humour #Poetry #MicroPoetry #Drugs #LightVerse #PoetryCommunity

A fine actress who’d hoped for the lead
In an upcoming film failed to heed
The advice from her spouse,
Who had warned, “Never grouse
At auditions and don’t read on speed!”

At my age I can clearly see
that what will be surely will be;
so I’ll not complain
of days filled with rain,
but why must they happen to me?

This Is NO Spin (Limerick)
http://www.madkane.com/humor_blog/2025/05/06/ballet-limerick/

#HaikuChallenge #Ballet #Dance #Étoile #Prime #Streaming #Limerick #Limericks #Rhyme #Humor #Humour #Poetry #MicroPoetry #LightVerse #AmyShermanPalladino

I infrequently recommend shows,
For my fav might make someone else doze.
But I’m deep in the thrall
Of the series Étoile
About artists who dance on their toes.

Weather Gripes (Limerick)
http://www.madkane.com/humor_blog/2025/05/04/weather-gripes-limerick/

The weather this spring’s not conforming
To seasonal norms. I’m not warming
To its ups and its downs,
So I keep wearing frowns.
As for clothes, fickle temps hinder norming.

Cornelis van Haarlem: Adam en Eva plukken een appel uit de boom van kennis van goed en kwaad, 1592.
#ollekebolleke #lightverse

Eva, geneer je niet!
Het is een misverstand
Ik had zojuist
Onze Heer aan de lijn

Hij stelde vast na een
Determinatietest
Dat onze schaamluizen
Bladluizen zijn

I’m attempting to write a short ditty
About something that’s dreadfully shitty.
But I’m getting the blues
From my options — can’t choose
The right shitstorm. (Things lately ain’t pretty!)
