It's insane. And it's dangerous for everyone. (I'm a small person. Only five foot zero. And that makes me an easy target. I love taking walks. But when I do, I have to concentrate on avoiding both people and sidewalk cracks.)

Thanks! I tend to fare better with one word prompts. But I'll give it a try.
For sure! And thanks for sharing my limerick!
LOL!
Anyone else pissed off by people who do this?
Dear NITWITS who stroll while you text
And who force folks to dodge you, I'm vexed:
Can't help betting you're bound
To be shoved by some hound
Who, while walking, is sending a sext.

Alas, so it seems. I've pretty much given up checking this page. Oh well... Must search for inspiration elsewhere.
A popular #trickster named Jade
Pulled off capers that school regs forbade.
At her first pranks, folks laughed.
Then she did something daft:
Somehow changing each AP Math grade.

Good one!
Some maintain that it's toxic to hate
And that #loathing just makes you irate.
While that might well be true,
Someone vile (you know who)
Deserves both and much more. No debate!

Nice wordplay!
Nice mix of languages! I'm so glad I still remember just enough of my high school French (way back in the 60s) to appreciate it.
Wise words!
Clever.
I'm #incensed by Trump's White House each day.
Am I #justified? Yes! You say "Nay?"
So to YOU fraud's divine
And corruption is fine...
Just as long as it's TRUMP -- A-OK!

Me too
Indeed, it is. (And thanks for sharing my limerick! )
Brand new #words are like catnip to me;
I explore roots & meaning with glee.
Once enlightened, I swoon,
Though, alas, this great boon...
Shall soon from my memory flee.

Oh no! Save yourself! :)
Nice! They're fun, aren't they, in a masochistically sort of way? LOL!
Oh and thanks for sharing it!!
I've been writing the very occasional acrostic limerick for many years, and very few people write them. But since acrostic poetry has been around for a very long time, it seems unlikely that I'm the first to write acrostic limericks.
Haha!
LOL! Good point!
When I'm inclined to torture myself, I write #acrostic #limericks:
G orging gleefully all through his meal,
R amming relish on meatloaf with zeal,
E nergetically, endlessly,
E ating tremendously —
D one? Not so long as there’s veal.

Speaking of ferris wheels, this science pun tee shirt is one of my favorites:

LOL!
Lovely!
Thanks very much!
