The Dogged Winner (Limerick)
madkane.com/humor_blog/2025/07

For the record, this limerick is fictitious. (I grew up with poodles, mutts, and a collie, none of which ever participated in dog shows. And I’ve never owned a golden retriever.)

“I’m so proud of our golden retriever.
She’s a multiple ribbon receiver.
She struts proudly at shows
With great gait, well-arched toes;
An achiever and bold ‘eager beaver.'”

Weather Gripes (Limerick)
madkane.com/humor_blog/2025/05

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.

Today (Feb. 16) is the anniversary of the first completed U.S 9-1-1 call, placed on February 16, 1968. Here's my "How NOT To Use 9-1-1" limerick to celebrate:

The emergency number is meant
For a notably urgent event.
So don’t call 9-1-1
When your steak’s overdone,
You’ve lost keys, or to vent about rent.

Two animal limericks in one day! Why? Because, not to be outdone by the groundhog, it's also World Ostrich Day.

Did you know that the whole “bury their head in the sand” thing is a myth? mcgill.ca/oss/article/did-you-

#LimerickSunday #Limerick #Limericks #Rhyme #Poems #Ostrich #Humor #Humour #LightVerse #Poetry #Animals #Verse

The ostrich’s rep has been bruised,
And ostriches aren’t amused.
We have all been misled;
They don’t bury their head
In the sand. They are falsely accused.

So if someone you know tends to hide
From the facts, shield the ostriches’ pride.
It’s time to adapt;
Find an insult more apt
Than “ostrich” with which to deride.

It is “National Short Person Day,”    
So I can’t resist shouting “Hooray!”    
On a good day, I'm just   
Five foot zero, and lust   
For more height. (But my ruler says “Nay!”)
