Limericks on Wednesday mean I'm particularly slow-witted and hurried

We tremble what each day might bring.
Take comfort it won't change a thing
Though sunshine or raining
Expect more complaining
Our forecast is good through the Spring.

CHANGE, n. A constant source of consistent complaint.

There's a lady I know in P.A.
Who can read, write or run the long day.
Her major repentence-
The long run-on sentence-
Of all things should have seemed o.k.

Happy birthday, Actonbell.

  2. Doug speaks we listen!
    Is a comma splice a run-on sentence, I don't think it is.
    ..
    Oh yes, Happy Birthday, Actonbell!

  3. Hooray for another year on this planet with the presence of the marvelous Actonbell!!! I wish her many more happy, healthy years to run and write and read and do all she enjoys!!!

    Change: All I've got left in my pocket (and bank account) about now.

    :-) Don't go changin'...

  5. happy Birthday, Actonbell!

    Doug, is that limerick crack directed at me? (Yes, I am the center of everyone's universe, so it must be.)

  8. It's Wednesday and Doug appears tired

    In work and in life he is mired

    He writes about change

    Which is well in his range

    Perhaps it's from Nash he was sired

    Wow -- I like a limerick in italics!

    It's much much better than a green limerick with birthday wishes for Actonbell whom I don't really know but wish her Happy Birthday anyway.

  11. Ariel, that sounds like a superhero theme song. Actonbell should absolutely have a theme song.

    Jim, I don't have any idea, really, I never learned grammar, grammar being complicated and rules based.

    JD, I'm the same broke as flush. I don't even eat less.

    TLP, that's probably the wrong orientation for your daughter's birthday. You're supposed to lie.

    Gosh, Nessa. I don't know how to answer.

    Amoeba, I suspect you don't want them talking. Was Wall-E made in China? And how do you say "Well done," in Chinese?

    If only, Icy.

    OK, A-bell, but you see how strained that was? I stand by my limerick.

    Cooper,
    I thank you for your salutation
    And commend you your fine maturation
    But in terms of descent,
    It's not as you meant,
    Curmudgeons skip new generations.

    TLP, since when did mothers start encouraging?

    Karen, italics are everything in limericism.

  12. "Though sunshine or raining
    Expect more complaining"

    I think we humans have mastered this part ;)

  13. Hey, Nicole. Arguably, that's what this blog is for and I'm 1,300 posts in already.

  14. Your blog is for complaining about the weather?
    I missed that so far ;)

    ReplyDelete
  15. I meant complaint generally.

    Can I sneak by with "All the endeavors of man are grounded weather?"

  16. I guess we can let is pass this time ;)

  17. You're gracious. Thank you.

  19. We're back from our trip up Northeast
    To famine from cultural feast.
    But Williams and Mahler
    Cost an almighty dollar,
    And th'invisible palm must be greased.

  20. Minka, that's generous.

    Weirsdo,
    However far you have traveled
    O'er freeway or side road ungraveled
    Wherever you roam,
    You're always at home
    'Less your blog's un-updated and -raveled.
