Day 7

There once was a Buddhist llama
so devoted he became a lama
Picked up a political bent
ran for president
Now we call him lama O-llama-bama.


Fun fact: The scientific name for a llama is lama glama. I didn't have room in the Limerick for lama llama (lama glama) Obama (walla walla bing bang...oooh eeeh).  Also, credit to Ogden Nash (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogden_Nash) for the lama/llama pairing.

Day 6

Old Mrs. Muffit sat by the bay
Writing my limerick for today
When along came a spider
That sat down beside her
Which frightened my limerick away.

Day 5

Here is my traveling story
About riding in a chinese lorry
My baby fell out
So I had to shout
Driver- go catch-a-Tori.

Day 4

Today I had lunch with a mummy
Who was constantly rubbing his tummy
We spoke of his wife
And the loss of his life
But he mostly just whined for his mummy.

Day 3

Listening to liberal talk radio in the car on the way to the Bellevue office I was inspired to this:

Anwar al-Awlaki did roam
far from his American home
Though terrorist he may be
You'll have to tell me
Was it legal to have sent him a bomb?


Then I got to thinking, this is could be a great opportunity for a more traditional limerickal approach:

There once was a Yankee from Yemen
Who was most likely guilty of treason
oh Anwar al-Awlaki
where can you be
and did you find your virgins in heaven?

Day 2

There was a  poet caught in the middle
of a grammatical riddle
aim for a clever rhyme
or punctuation sublime
'cause a lim'rick's no friend of a tiddle.

Day 1

Fair Eve once sat on a log
composing the very first blog
'bout her travels in Eden
the things she had eaten
and the nice snake she had met in the bog.
