Deepression

I’m locked in a dark prison cell
a dismal and bottomless well
Its skeleton key
they’ll bury with me
Life sentenced to self-imposed hell

Maybe it's my cheery Eastern European outlook,
maybe it's the state of the world. In either case,
it's Depression Days here at Limerwrecks.

Diet Right

When finding their cottage a sight
at first the three bears had a fright
But to their relief
it wasn’t a thief
and Goldilocks tasted just right

A Weinie for Fellini

Three genies, nee Queenie, foretell,

"We see Ciccolini in hell

His ivory touch

can't buy very much

Just teeny bikinied Jacques Brel!"

The "I"s Have It

Whenever a push comes to shove

the answer to "Who do you Love?"

will aways be "me"

I come before thee

and me I hold no one above

Though really, it out to be "whom." We'll stop asking

the Big Questions now--we don't like the answers.

Darwin Or Lose

All life has evolved from a cell
Dividing, it split, then a swell
of species, then races
with differing faces
All brothers, but you couldn't tell

Persona Non Nada

My person is bare, nothing’s left
Who am I if I am bereft?
In fact, who is "I"?
My self, say “goodbye”
A victim, identity theft

Daze Dream

Are things that we see what they seem?
Or is all of life but a dream?
Is that which we feel
the truth, or unreal
Or am I just way off the beam?

Twiddle-Dee Deity

At top of the Big Question list
the biggest is, "Does God exist?"
Or, facing unknown
are we all alone?
By asking, did He just get pissed?

It's Big Questions week at Limerwrecks.

Sellbound

Each night Alfred Hitchcock Presents
did murder with chilling suspense
"Good evening," he'd say
beginning each play,
then joke at the sponsor's expense



NBC is streaming "highlights"of episodes of the
Alfred Hitchcock Hour on their website, here

Making a Splash

Though liquid, he isn't a drink
When tired he sleeps in the sink
Then drips down the drain
while leaving a stain...
Splash Brannigan's made out of ink

Moe Better Booze

This must be a cousin of Moe's

His knuckles drag down on his toes

He drinks so much Duff

he swims in the stuff

and pukes on his colorful clothes

Low Status Quo

A system of money and clout
is bound to have more than one lout
But all those in power
do not need to cower
The D.A. can’t root them all out


"There's so much corruption and
so little time" says Northern Illinois
District Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald.

Purple Maize

A farmer who hailed from Nantucket
would carry his corn in a bucket
He'd squeeze on his cob
until his hand throbbed
and then he would bend down and...shuck it


Yeah, it really is just about corn.

April fools!
