Limerick of the Day #65

Audio

Today is the start of the G-8,
Where nations pretend they can create
The ideal conditions
For curbing emissions.
To save the earth, they negotiate.

Limerick of the Day #64

Audio

As the crowd overflowed to the street, it
Was chanting the lyrics to "Beat It."
Internet traffic swelled
As the crowd felt compelled
To blog every moment, or tweet it.

Limerick of the Day #63

Audio

If the world can get by without Farrah,
And Alaskans can do without Sarah,
Then the Vietnamese
Will pull through with ease
Despite doing without McNamara.

Limerick of the Day #62

Audio

The departure of Sarah Palin
Indicates that the campaign trail in
Alaska's not great
So she needs a new state
To pursue one more job she can fail in.

Limerick of the Day #61

Audio

First for Ed and then Farrah we keen.
Michael Jackson, pop's king (or its queen).
But now topping those guys
Is the tragic demise
Of Billie Mays and, we hope, OxiClean.

Limerick of the Day #60

Audio

In what should not have been hard to guess,
Iran's election ends in a mess.
One side claims voter fraud,
So we all should applaud
How much they have grown like the U.S.

Limerick of the Day #59

To my readers: Dear small, ruly mob,
It's not that I've turned lazy slob.
I'm here. Don't ask "Is he?"
But I've been so busy
Preparing to start a new job.
