A short boy named Evenrude Hatcher
loved Elaine, but he never could catch her
She’d dodge when he’d dart

But the chase was a boon for his stature

Some boys like a girl to make them work for their attention. I think litt…

A young waiter who called himself Nate
was determined to keep a clean slate
He was kind and polite
He did everything right
But his eyes missed the hair on my plate

Okay…he wasn’t our cashier at Wal-mart. Nate was the young boy who rang up our o…

A smug man named David C. Doward
made sure that his suits were high powered
He was well known at work
as the consummate jerk
and at home as the double-dyed coward

I got that name off an ad on the newly delivered Real Yellow Pages. I changed it a…

A beautiful girl named Dora
held a presence, a nimbus, an aura
It was said of her hair

And to be sure and give thanks to…

There is no limerick today. I’m just taking this Friday off. Maybe I should write a limerick about that.

My head hurts a little on the left side and I have a lot to do so I’m not going to think real hard about making names and stories fit into five…

A fish has moved in named Tim,
To a tall bowl in which he can swim,
He has rocks at the base,
And significant space,
Should he ever invite his friend Kim.
