Limerick of the Day #41

Reality currently reflects
Don a gown and gloves of latex
mask and goggles
The mind boggles
This is now how to practice safe sex
Limerick of the Day #42

The virus spawns many a spoof
One way we have certain proof
Lucky not all
Is in free fall
Plus wine sales have gone thru the roof
Limerick of the Day #43
May 8, 2020
Statistics and facts that we lean on
To exit this ride that we’ve been on
But there’s no doubt
I can’t come out
‘til I can squeeze my blue jeans on
Limerick of the Day #44
May 9, 2020
There once was a day you could shop
The world hadn’t come to a stop
Amongst all the blues
There is some good news
“Drive-bys” are b-days with cake pops
Limerick of the Day #45
May 10, 2020
As a nation we’ve taken more debt
We don’t know what lies in store yet
Big surprise
Killer flies
Holy shit, it’s the murder hornet
Limerick of the Day #46
May 11, 2020
They’re putting brand new steps in place
Lots of testing and contact trace
Boy I’m missing
Hugs and kissing
And randomly touching my face
Limerick of the Day #47
May 12, 2020
If you’re covered in PPE
Or applying for PPP
Seeking protection
From the infection
Both physical and fiscally
Limerick of the Day #48
May 13, 2020
Opening while so many still die
I’m a bit fearful, not gonna lie
If there’s a shot
Of increased R Naught*
Then we can all kiss our assay good-bye
Limerick of the Day #49
May 14, 2020
“Opening” Guidelines issued today
From the CDC after delay
Restaurants
Pubs, old haunts
I think you should skip the buffet
Limerick of the Day #50
May 15, 2020
Ne’er has a household appliance
Experienced such endless reliance
My fridge just groaned
Leave me alone
And the Dryer quit in defiance
Limerick of the Day #51
May 16, 2020
Class of ’20 did not have a prom
Spending grad night with Dad, Sis and Mom
TV graduation
For the whole nation
And ditch day…a full 3-months long!
Limerick of the Day #52
May 17, 2020
All cooped up has led many to wonder
If their marriage was just a huge blunder
Some take the course
Of a divorce
While others prefer… 6 feet under
Limerick of the Day #53
May 18, 2020
I get so much done on some of the days
And others are just filled with malaise
For a Zoom meeting
A nice shirt’s not cheating
And on bottom a pair of PJs
Limerick of the Day #54
May 19, 2020
Each newscast, we glimpse something more
Reporter’s home and their décor
Smarties or shnooks
Shelves full of books
With Harlequin’s hidden in drawers!
Limerick of the Day #55
May 20, 2020
What will happen as we approach fall?
Will they be playing any pro-ball?
If a foul lands
In the empty stands
Will a virtual ump make the call?
Limerick of the Day #56
May 21, 2020
The situation is really quite grave
It’s no mystery on how to behave
If we’re weak, we’ll
Watch the sequel,
Coronavirus: The Second Wave
Limerick of the Day #57
May 22, 2020
Wearing a face mask, Fergy McFlandit
In the bank queue, could no longer stand it
He thought it was funny
To say “hand me your money”
And became known as the CoV-2 Bandit
Limerick of the Day #58
May 23, 2020
Under lockdown we’ve learned many skills
Hair color, self-manis, no frills
There’s no enjoyment
In unemployment
At least we have cut grooming bills
Limerick of the Day #59
May 24, 2020
They’ve taught math, and science, and flute
Crafted projects with cut up fresh fruit
Parenting heaven
Twenty-four seven
Camp counselors this summer to boot
Limerick of the Day #60
May 25, 2020
We remember those killed in the wars
Those who died serving on Covid floors
Selfless tales
Not mattress sales
Is Memorial Day at its core
