Limerick of the Day #61
May 26, 2020
My biceps are looking so dope
Even better than I dare to hope
Everyone knows
Gyms are still closed
It’s from pumping all of that…soap!
Limerick of the Day #62
May 27, 2020
Mask makers today they be cashin’
On the latest accessory fashion
Need a bunch of those
To match your clothes
Cuz you don’t wanna be color clashin’
Limerick of the Day #63
May 28, 2020
The memes these past months bring us laughs
‘Bout all of the CoV2 gaffes
Are we “Open phase 2?”
Don’t know about you
I’m stuck in Phase 1 and a ½
Limerick of the Day #64
May 29, 2020
If a mask controverts civil rights
You are blind to our national blight
Hinders your breath?!
Not strangled to death
Like George Floyd who was robbed of his life
Limerick of the Day #65
May 30, 2020
There once was a woman with curls
Who gave birth to two lovely pearls
Then one day
They moved far away
I am profoundly missing my girls
Limerick of the Day #66
May 31, 2020
Our nation is facing a test
I Can’t Breathe…a vocal protest
White armed resistance
To social distance
Now streets aflame in social unrest
Limerick of the Day #67
June 1, 2020
There once was a country in need
Of a leader who could actually lead
Not deploy soldiers and cops
To take photo ops
And deliver more bile and screed
Limerick of the Day #68
June 3, 2020
I just can’t help feeling the blues
As we watch the horrible news
I would go to marches
If only my arches
Could squeeze into a pair of real shoes
Limerick of the Day #69
June 4, 2020
Generals Allen, and Mattis, and Kelly
Are urging in writing and on the telly
To quell the foment
To seize the moment
And clean our exposed toxic underbelly
Limerick of the Day #70
June 5, 2020
I’d like to propose something bolder
This year we don’t grow a year older
The year 2020
Crap flying a plenty
Should qualify for a do-over
Limerick of the Day #71
June 6, 2020
While we are still under risk of this bug
Policemen give protestors hugs
And take a knee
In empathy
Gives our heartstrings a much-needed tug
Limerick of the Day #72
June 7, 2020
Constitution seems to be tattered
Illusion of justice is shattered
D.C.’s Mayor-esse
Moved the White House address
To the Plaza of Black Lives Matters
Limerick of the Day #73
June 8, 2020
At once we face 2 deadly threats
Both invisible with painful vignettes
One cured with meds
And one can be shred
With love and with mutual respect
Limerick of the Day #74
June 9, 2020
D’ja hear about the Indian monkey?
Who was more than a little bit spunky
Covid blood grab
From a testing lab
Can’t make up this crazy ass junk-y
Limerick of the Day #75
June 10, 2020
Concern over Covid has faded
Or perhaps we have become jaded
Death toll reports
Between weather and sports
Seems to be just casually stated
Limerick of the Day #76
June 11, 2020
Quarantine fatigue is no fable
It’s getting our economy more stable
Opening’s cool
‘til back to school
Lands right back at your kitchen table.
Limerick of the Day #77
June 12, 2020
Even if you’re not a big fan
Wear a mask, protect fellow man
Lot’s of sunscreen
Not to be seen
Sporting 2020’s face tan
