“You are moving too much. Please hold still,”
Said a seamstress while sewing a frill
On a dress that was drab
And would never be fab,
Though it WOULD #yield a fabulous bill.

I’ve a #limerick notion — a #glimmer.
It is shimmering. Damn! Now it’s dimmer.
My poor brain’s filled with frost,
And my rhyme primer’s lost.
My slim odds of success have grown grimmer.

A fellow was planning to plant
Some fruit, but his wife said, “You can’t.
I hate to sound mean,
But your thumbs aren’t green;
Seems your nurturing talents are scant.”

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.

Is age just a number? Who knows?
Some say “yes.” Others suff’ring the woes
Of senescence will wage
A war against age,
To disguise the “gifts” aging bestows.
Happy Age Is Just A Number Day! (March 22)

My treasured gold #chain has a knot,
Which I’d meant to repair, but forgot.
I returned to the #chain
Where I bought it … in vain;
Now it’s naught but a large, empty lot.

My dear #Spring, I’m sure hoping you’ll shove
Winter out of the way. No kid #glove!

For a mild #weather spell.
Yours sincerely, Mad Kane, with much love.

Many newlyweds blithely assume
They can #change irksome traits of their groom.
But they rarely, if ever,
Fulfill this endeavor...
Brides beware! This may well lead to doom!

It’s a challenge to bridge the large gap
Between parties who’d rather just #flap
And complain that they’re right,
While their rivals just fight
Cuz they’re mean. So I’d rather just nap.

The math’matical constant called #Pi
Is Greek to your average guy.
“Transcendental,” some call it,
But most people maul it;
Comprehension is pie in the sky.
Happy #PiDay!

Though it's Friday the 13th today,
Please don't buy its "unlucky" cliché:
It's an unfounded notion
That rates no devotion...
Oh My God! A black cat's in my way!

Our new neighbor insists we should weed
And refuses to even concede
That a weed can have beauty.
That gal is too snooty.
Methinks that her soul’s gone to seed.

I’m a rhymer, a limerick drafter,
A chronic light-poetry crafter.
I’ve been labeled a “card,”
And called “daft,” but not “bard.”
What’s my target? Grins, giggles, and laughter.

An #acrostic #limerick for a change of pace:
Come one and come all to this site:
Oaths are sworn here, and litigants fight.
Understand that our laws
Rest on humans with flaws,
Tilting justice t’wards those who have might.

A quatrain, for a change of pace:
A jury duty notice
has alas come in my mail.
I'm on call to serve next Monday, so...
I predict snow, sleet, and hail.

(Note: James is fictitious!)
An obnoxious old drummer named James
Enjoyed lawsuits & filing false claims.
He would wear people down,
Till he sued the wrong "clown."
He's been drummed out of town; life in flames.

An ambitious young woman named Kyle
Found her trend-setting efforts a trial.
One fall #evening, she freaked
When this fashion news leaked:
Her new gown was no longer in style.

The old idiom "fresh as a daisy"
Always strikes me as odd, even crazy.
No one's used it for me,
And I'm glad, cuz I'd see
Wilting plants, looking shriveled & lazy.

Penning lim'ricks each day's an #obsession.
If I don't at least try, a depression
Will most probably hit.
So those rhymes must be writ
And have wit, unlike this, my confession.

I've been corrected by my husband: NYC got 20 inches of snow & not a "mere" 16. I've fixed it on my blog. How I wish I could edit it here!

New York City's been under attack:
We've been hit by a blizzardy whack
And are buried in snow;
Sixteen inches, and so
Can't dodge shov'ling with "Oy vey, my back!"

Though a fellow who often looked pensive,
Was presumed to have brilliance extensive,
He was av'rage, at best.
But he practiced with zest
"Resting smart face," his zeal comprehensive.

Margarita’s a fave in our house. If I drink one in bars, though, I’ll grouse; They are weak and too sweet And consistently beat By the great ones prepared by my spouse.
Happy National Margarita Day, which falls each year on February 22.
And since #NYC is under a #blizzard warning, #margaritas may be just what we need to drown our #weather sorrows.

A young fellow was terribly #late
For an interview key to his fate.
The job seemed a lock
Till he mis-set his clock...
But at least he remembered the date.

A #mountain of debt, that was Trump;
A bankrupt, old, overweight schlump.
But he acted so rich
On TV with no glitch,
That we each played the role as his chump.
