the important salad

Freshly baked limericks, a little bit political but witty and atypical and silly and satirical…

I visited Engadine today and this materialised in my brain on the drive home…

At Engadine Maccas the Happy
Meals don’t come with toys but with nappies
Just ask poor old Scomo
(Our ex-major-domo)
It’s not just the food there that’s crappy…

I’m writing this Limerick live!
No editing, delete, revise…
Each word that I type
Only deepens my plight?
Do you think I deserve to survive?

@BBCNews Das ding daß most German Männ grausen
Ist der onset of Haare daß grau sind
Aber grausende Haare
Peuvent devenir noirer -
The power of Grecian 2000

@Codgerverse @sweetiepiesnow Bravo! Stylish nonsense of the highest order!

Last week, I was riding my bicycle
When I impaled my leg on an icicle!
My thigh - perforated
My limb - amputated
For balance, I now need a tricycle 😕

Let us go back to the caves
To the oldest and coldest of graves
Where the daubs on the wall
Laud the fallen and spall
On the floor cradles bones of dead braves

@sweetiepiesnow @thewriteprompt @PromptAdvant @PromptList @vssWritingRT The must have thing in a boudoir
Is a well organised faux wood bar
So take time to build
A collection of dildos
And sort them from ‘small’ to ‘too large’

@sweetiepiesnow @thewriteprompt @PromptAdvant @PromptList @vssWritingRT A limerick has three main parts:
There’s this - the beginning, or start
And then comes the middle,
Which deepens the riddle
Before the punchline makes you laugh

@guardiannews Applying lipstick to a pig
Is harder than people might think.
Like polishing turds,
Denying words heard
By millions is quite a tough gig.

@WinnDoris Whatever the topic or theme,
@WinnDoris makes writing seem
Like an effortless dance,
Total skill, zero chance.
A haiku technician supreme 🙌🏼

@sweetiepiesnow @young_liz @sweetiepiesnow spends her time
Curating and creating rhyme.
It’s a great way to treat
The impact of concrete
On a brain (which is not past its prime 😉)

@dontattempt Some say that the folk here are barmier
Than monkeys who’re drunk on Grand Marnier
No lions or witches
Just negative glitches
The hot and cold land of Yeah-Narnia

@BazzaCC If knowledge is like H2O
We have to allow it to flow
It goes out of date
If you let it stagnate
So update your facts as you go

There was a young student named Samuel,
Who bought socks but didn’t read the manual.
So he failed to change them
And after 4 days, well,
His feet smelt worse than a wet spaniel.

@Dramfire A high vis clad photo op? Grand!
Pre-vetted meetings? Yup, planned!
Just who is this berk
Keeping helpers from work?
Holding hoses? Nope, “Look, mum, no hands!”

Time is a curious subject
An hour can pass in a sec
and sometimes a minute
can seem almost infinite
(depends how much you have left)

@chaser Some people don’t deserve a voice
An example is Barnaby Joyce
He stumbles, a drunk fool
In search of some junk food
Remove him when you have the choice #LimerickRhyme

@drkerrynphelps A distance of one point five metres
Should protect us from coughers and sneezers
And while wearing a mask
Seems a burdensome task
It is better than getting diseases

Now, I know that ‘it isn’t all guys’.
There are plenty of good men, allies…
But until equality
Is simply normality
That day has to stay, I surmise.

I spent a day in an ED
Cared for by RNs and MDs.
All ladies, no guys,
And I asked myself ‘Why
Does the world even need IWD?’

It’s clear, even unto a fool
That gals can run businesses, schools,
Even suckle a child
In a parliament while
Running countries, so why are men tools?
