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 . . .
