Hard Candy: Limericks
“How Has Florida Affected Your Writing?”
They congratulate marvelous Mona
For becoming tonight’s Miss Daytona,
But in such a cheap town
Instead of a crown
They award her one lukewarm Corona.
Stool Pidgin
A fellow with multiple theses
Detailing the ordures of species
Would quip, to acquit
His lifetime of shit,
“It’s nice to put names with their feces!”
Punctilious
A grammarian piqued by Poughkeepsie’s
Young ladies parading in slips sees
In the freckles they show
And the kisses they blow
A tableau of suggestive ellipses . . .
