Ooit, toen de Pride nog Gay Parade genoemd werd, schreef ik dit over #Sail . Toch leuk om nog eens te delen, best trots op het rijmwerk. #lightverse

Haiku Switcheroo (Limerick)

#LimerickSunday #Limerick #Limericks #Rhyme #Humor #Humour #Poetry #MicroPoetry #LightVerse #Haiku #Poems #PoetryCommunity #Writing

Haiku-Mavens have frequently said:
“Just get five-seven-five in your head.”
I do try — I’m no jerk!
But it often won’t work.
So I switch to a lim’rick instead.

Jumbled Limerick

#vssdaily #Wire #Limerick #Limericks #Rhyme #Humor #Humour #Poetry #MicroPoetry #LightVerse #Writing #PoetryCommunity

My poor brain is all jumbled. I’m wired.
I can’t sleep, though I’m terribly tired.
I just caught myself mumbling
Some rhyme words and grumbling.
In limerick fumbling I’m mired.

Op een schorpioen #trijntjefop #lightverse

Op een schorpioen Een schorpioen uit Sint Geertruid Zei: ‘De muziek stond veel te luid Ik schreeuwde me een ongeluk Toch kon de avond niet meer stuk Want ik had rozen meegebracht Drie soorten, voor een wilde nacht En met succes, ik ben net wakker’ ‘Goh, welke soort’, vroeg toen een makker ‘Bracht gisteren de eerste zoen?’ De schorpioen zei schor: ‘Pioen' Theo Danes

Porpoise-Full Limerick
http://www.madkane.com/humor_blog/2025/07/29/porpoise-full-limerick/

#BlueskyRelay #Porpoise #Animals #Etymology #Mammals Limerick #Limericks #Rhyme #Humor #Humour #Poetry #MicroPoetry #LightVerse #Verse #Poems #PoetryCommunity

I researched some porpoise citations
On purpose. (I love derivations!)
Seems it comes from the French
Words for pig-fish — a wrench
In my “poor poise” assumption. (Damnations!)

Olives? Please, NO! (Limerick)
http://www.madkane.com/humor_blog/2025/07/26/olives-please-no/

#vssdaily #Olive #Food #Cuisine #Limerick #Limericks #Rhyme #Humor #Humour #Poetry #MicroPoetry #LightVerse #Poems #PoetryCommunity

Empanadas can be quite delish.
But alas, many ruin that dish
With green olives, whose taste
Lays those meat pies to waste.
I would sooner eat three-week-old fish.

The Hoarder (Limerick)
http://www.madkane.com/humor_blog/2025/07/25/the-hoarder-limerick/

#HaikuFeels #Order #Limerick #Limericks #Rhyme #Humor #Humour #Poetry #MicroPoetry #LightVerse #Verse #Poems #PoetryCommunity

Keeping order’s impossibly hard
When your husband, a hoarder, stands guard
To ensure “priceless” crap’s
Not thrown out while he naps.
So my odds of success? Not one shard!

Op een lintworm #trijntjefop #lightverse

Op een lintworm Een lintworm klaagt in Lutjegast: ‘De mensen vinden mij een last’ Ze zijn me liever kwijt dan rijk Terwijl ik heel empathisch blijk Ik ben er goed in’, zegt hij schrander ‘Me te verplaatsen in een ander’ Theo Danes

This Love

This love I have for you
Is higher than an ant hill,
Deeper than a mud puddle,
And will last until

At least sometime tomorrow.
Not that I'm promising
I will still be here
then or anything.

This passion that I feel
Fills me, I can't deny,
With all the thrill of watching
Grass grow and paint dry,

But not at the same time.
That would be too much
Excitement, after all.
At least your lips' sweet touch

Never caused that problem,
For our love is as strong
As melted ice in tea
left sitting out too long.

The Musician (Limerick)

#BlueskyRelay #Tambourine #Music #Limerick #Limericks #Rhyme #Humor #Humour #Poetry #MicroPoetry #LightVerse #Poems #PoetryCommunity

And odd woman careened and would preen,
As she rattled an old tambourine.
Irksome clatter? Immense!
And her moves made no sense!
So we swiftly skedaddled the scene.

The Arrangement (Limerick)

When caught ‘cheating,’ a fellow exclaimed
To his wife, “Hon, I should not be blamed!
Cuz I clearly recall
The arrangement we all
Made last week with the woman you maimed.”

#Haikufeels #Blog #Writing #Limerick #Limericks #Humor #Humour #Poetry #MicroPoetry #LightVerse #Poems #PoetryCommunity

My two blogs are big bullies, alas:
“Write more lim’ricks!” they coax and harass.
If I take a day off,
They will grumble and scoff:
“What’s your problem? You run out of gas?”

Tweeregelig stuntrijm op een brug in #weesp

The Opossums

Mister Opossum
is pretty awesome;
Missus Opossum is too.
When threatened, instead
of running, play dead!
That generally gets them through.
Opossum and wife
live without strife;
that's the best thing to do.
And rummage through trash —
hear the cans crash!
Do those belong to you?

The Flunky (Limerick)
http://www.madkane.com/humor_blog/2025/06/28/the-flunky-limerick/

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

A young man who’s employed as a flunky
For a funky, eccentric old junky,
Is often confused
And even bemused
By commands like: “Make things dory-hunky.”

Be Yourself

‘Just be yourself’ is lousy advice;
you have loads of choices—invent yourself twice!
More if you wish, it’s all up to you—
nobody can keep you from starting anew.
If you are asked, tell folks that you grew
and you’ll become others before you are through;
this day a villain, tomorrow quite nice—
if you can’t decide, then just roll the dice!
