It is quarter to four and I still
Haven't written a thing: output nil!
I've had sev'ral false starts
With some lame wordplay farts...
So here's hoping this verse fills the bill.#WIPSnips #Write #Limerick #Limericks #Rhyme #Humor #Humour #Poetry #MicroPoetry #LightVerse #Verse #Poems #Writing

Brand new words are like catnip to me;
I explore roots and meaning with glee.
Once enlightened, I swoon,
Though, alas, this great boon...
Shall soon from my memory flee.#Vss365 #Word #Language #Limerick #Limericks #Rhyme #Humor #Humour #Poetry #MicroPoetry #LightVerse #Aging #Poems #PoetryCommunity

“It’s too dark in this place,” said the gent.
“Did this restaurant NOT pay its rent?
Your damn, flickering light
On the menu’s a blight.
I give up. You have lamb? I’m lamb bent.”

A "connected" curmudgeon named Frank.
Had a high-level job at a bank.
His performance was panned;
He deserved to be canned...
Yet (surprise!) he survived when ranks shrank.#vss365 #bank #Limerick #Limericks #Rhyme #Humor #Humour #Poetry #MicroPoetry #LightVerse #Verse #Poems #PoetryCommunity

A bootlicking fellow named Ross
Worked in footwear and fawned on his boss.
Many co-workers mocked him.
One gal even socked him.
He's boss now ... and she's on the sauce.#HaikuChallenge #Fawn #Workplace #Jobs #Limerick #Limericks #Rhyme #Humor #Humour #Poetry #MicroPoetry #LightVerse #Verse #Poems

Though it's Friday the 13th today,
Please don't buy its "unlucky" cliché:
It's an unfounded notion
That rates no devotion...
Oh My God! A black cat's in my way!#FridayTheThirteenth #FridayThe13th #Limerick #Limericks #Humor #Humour #Poetry #MicroPoetry #LightVerse #Verse #Poems #Superstition

New York City's been under attack:
We've been hit by a blizzardy whack
And are buried in snow;
Twenty inches, and so
Can't dodge shov'ling with "Oy vey, my back!"#NYC #Blizzard #Snow #Winter #Weather #Limerick #Humor #Limericks #Humour #Poetry #MicroPoetry #LightVerse #Verse #Poems #Writing

My Unnoteworthy Skills (Limerick)
http://www.madkane.com/humor_blog/2026/02/15/wine-tasting-humor/I’m not skilled at detecting “wine notes,”
Be they cedar, vanilla, or oats.
I will NEVER know whether
A wine tastes like leather…
But I DO know which wines get my votes.

Today's "National Umbrella Day," which gives me an excellent excuse to post my Limerick Ode To An Absent-Minded Husband:
