But what will they do if it snows?

Food

April 5th, 2010

There once was an epicure from Crewe
Who found a rather large mouse in his stew
Cried the Waiter “Don’t shout!
Or wave it about!
Or the rest will be wanting one too!”

A variation on a limerick that’s already on the blog.

This Limerick Called Life

March 19th, 2010

I know this may sound absurd
But I have this obsession with words.
I’ve taken up blogging;
It’s more fun than jogging.
So through limericks I like to be heard.

In a small Pennsylvania town,
I grew up just hangin’ around.
After high school graduation,
The world was my fascination.
Amman, Jordan is now where I’m found.

My interests are my kids and cooking
Along with reading and lots of facebooking
I hope that my themes
will reign supreme
and keep you coming back and looking.

When my pants suddenly fell down

Kids Are Masters Of Fun

January 10th, 2010

As we grow and live life on the run,
We can pause for a fond reflection,
Shaking sodas in cans,
Speaking robot through fans,
When we were kids, we were masters of fun.

Jailing Pants

January 8th, 2010

There are dudes with low hanging pants,
That inspire disgust and our rants,
Someone please tell them soon,
With their half covered moon,
Skid marks do not lead to romance.

Many thanks to Richard Bobo
