#Haiku for International #Bagpipe Day:

The maddening skirl
of six strolling bagpipers
invaded my ears.

For some inexplicable reason, it's "International Defend The Donut Day."

How to celebrate
"Defend The Donut Day?"
Just let them grow stale.

It's "National Battery Day," which gives me a good excuse to post my "Dim-Witted Driver" #Limerick:

A dim-witted driver named Ed
Often finds that his battery’s dead.
He’s forgetful most nights
And he leaves on the lights.
That’s why Edward is no longer wed.

A Limerick for "Data Privacy Day."

A fellow was going through hoops
To avoid being spied on by snoops.
He had nothing to hide,
But could never abide
His life being turned into scoops.

Here's my limerick for "National Bagel Day."

Is “Bagel Day” fun, or just folly?
I suppose it makes bagel fans jolly,
Served with lox and cream cheese,
Maybe onion, but jeez,
I would rather just have a bialy.

Can it really be
International Skeptics Day?
I’m skeptical.

As some of you may have noticed, I often use an oddball holiday as an excuse for a limerick. So happy "National Glazed Doughnut Day!"

"National Take The Stairs Day" deserves a haiku, don't you think?

Two legs — once scrawny,
Now attractively muscled.
The up side of stairs.

Here's my 2-verse #Quatrain for Peculiar People Day.

My peculiar predilection:
I like people who are odd.
I’ll applaud a little strangeness,
But find “normal” humans flawed.

That makes perfect sense: They tell me
I am rather “weird” myself.
I don’t mind critiques and putdowns—
Just don’t call me “off the shelf.”

Although I dislike the word "girl" when applied to an adult, I can't resist celebrating "Short Girl Appreciation Day" with a limerick.

It's National #Pastry Day, so here's a limerick to celebrate.
(I use #odd #holidays as #limerick & #haiku #prompts. Feel free to join me.)

A pastry chef promised to can
All her plans to procure a nice tan,
Cuz fresh wrinkles appeared
Ev’ry day, which she feared
Came from baking like cake in a pan.

It's #BlueJeansDay, so here's a limerick to celebrate:
(I use #odd #holidays as #limerick & #haiku #prompts. Feel free to join me.)

Call them denims or #jeans — I don’t care–
That’s one garment I simply won’t wear.
I don’t buy the appeal
Of its look or its feel,
And I’d rather go naked. Don’t stare!

It's #Sock Day, so here's a haiku & limerick to celebrate:
(I use #odd #holidays as #limerick & #haiku #prompts. Feel free to join me.)

Yet another sock
Has escaped; it's on the run.
AWOL! Or eaten.
***
AWOL socks are a grim laundry given;
Former pairs inexplicably riven,
Dresser drawers oddly littered
With orphans, embittered
And wond’rin’ where old mates are livin’.
