Limerick

I’m not going to take any more,

I kowtow, I beg, I implore

I’m tired of pleading,

My kneecaps are bleeding,

I’ll stand up and walk out the door.

Limerick

She was a ravenous sort,

Whose hunger never ran short

Stomach bigger than eye

She took the whole pie

And left on her plate not an ort.

Limerick

Don’t say “aphotic” - say dark

Don’t say “blemish” - say mark

You sound like a nerd,

With every big word,

It’s not an “esplanade” - it’s a park!
