Limericks

An ephemeral blast of literary showmanship--the Limerick Club.
Its members had to write a limerick for each Dictionary.com Word of the Day. Genius, witty, shortlived. The LC.

Stricken with ennui terrific
And environment too soporific
I edit my Phonics
In a state catatonic
The hebdetude's rather horrific.

My most favorite reformer, John Huss,
Met a blasphemous, wicked young cuss.
This cuss was a miss,
With a liking to kiss.
So his beared old face she did buss.

Tractable Adam was caught
when Eve gave him what she should not
Because of their vice
they paved Paradise
and put up a parking lot.

Cavorting in settings most tangible
My kitchen, with cans of cheese edible
The wheat cracker broke
I cursed with a choke,
"Triscuits are so bloody frangible!"

A couple of young paramedics
(Who were strong, lusty parapetics)
Made quite a killing
In black-market dealing
Of generic and brand-name prosthetics.

Hebdetude poisons good men.
With magazines, telly and sin.
They barter roast duck
for Spam and ground chuck
Reclining, they stinkily grin.

On his fruity green apple Jon plays -
Mixing music in perverted ways.
Let's all sing the chorus
To "I am the Walrus"
Then chant "Hi-Fiddle-dee" for three days!
