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.

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.

“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.

"Waltzing Matilda" is a song developed in the Australian style of poetry and folk music called a #bushBallad. It has been described as the country's "unofficial national anthem". The title was Australian slang for travelling on foot, by walking (waltzing) with one's belongings in a "matilda" (swag) slung over one's back, a slang expression that may have originally been repurposed from a work of #lightVerse by #CharlesGodfreyLeland.

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.

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!"

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.
