Walt Whitman why whipped hard ten times tight
For turning fine-tuned verse e’er so slight
Beat poets all sweat caned
Their howls and growls un-maned
Ginsberg last seen dropping out of sight
Limerick crochetés: Once Mid-East refugee hijacked plane
Once Mid-East refugee hijacked plane
At Heathrow Airport without much pain
Set course for Florida
Down Gulf Stream danced salsa
O’er Bermuda Triangle lost brain
Raised head in parallel universe
Where everybody spoke only in verse
Shakespeare just a mere Page
At beck and call of Sage
Who rode on a flying-trapeze hearse
Walt Whitman why whipped hard ten times tight
For turning fine-tuned verse e’er so slight
Beat poets all sweat caned
Their howls and growls un-maned
Ginsberg last seen dropping out of sight
Harriet Monroe drowned in Poet-Soup
To lay Poet-Foundation nin.com poop
Rhyme and dine for a dime
At Multi-Verse win prime
Refugees now cross Atlantic in sloop
At Poet-Soup Port they re-fuel with port
Learn how to parse clichés sans rapport
Great poems like Hardy’s
Drivel from their panties
“America” refugees sing out!
Bonjour Monseigneur Don Ron! Yes, I do have quite a few limericks I have kept under wraps for no reason in particular. Yes, I'll post them just for your sake. One in particular I wrote in answer to my being accused of the shortcoming of "Narcissism" by the mutual admiration club of "philosophers" and "nin.com holier-than-thou poops"! What I like about your comments is the way you fume ("fustigate or fumigate" is more appropriate) when some act, event or sheer pulling-the-wool-over-eyes marrs and sharpens your sensibilities... but then, you do go right across to the "great pretenders" to assuage and shore up their sides, too! Very tactful but it'll serve no purpose whatsoever in the long run...you must sense that!
Time is the foremost critic of all. It's the great weeder out of parasites - as if you didn't know that??? Wignesan
It's time for a 2022 version of this fine 2018 set of limericks. But I would replace "flying-trapeze" with flying-carpet, unrestrained by trapeze wires anymore like puppet strings where politics go back-and-forth, back and forth, all the time.

I loved the reference to nincompoop! ;-)
