Clyde Overcash underwear – Limerick 3

There once was an Arts Council Honcho
Who wore the Art Police Poncho.
When underwear waved
It pissed off Anne Cave
Until the real police said “Gotchu!”

Clyde Overcash underwear – Limerick 2

When Clyde’s underwear waved in the breeze
A local art lover got peeved.
In fact, this resident
Is Arts Council President
Unless jail time requires a leave.

Clyde Overcash underwear – Limerick 1

There once was an artist named Clyde
Whose art wasn’t selling inside.
His only relief
Were boxers (not briefs)
That he hung from his flagpole with pride.

There once was a fish in the Atlantic

There once was a fish in the Atlantic
Who swam in a fashion most frantic.
He puffed his fin
While his mouth sucked in
Making his head gigantic.

There once was a pitcher from Kentucky

There once was a pitcher from Kentucky,
A U.S. Senator, and quite plucky.
He found it funny
When families lacked money:
“Screw the unemployed. They’re unlucky!”

Balloon Boy Limerick

There was a strange family named Heene
Whose son was nowhere to be seenie.
All afternoon
He wasn’t in a balloon
But was hiding from Daddy — a meanie.

Limerick: There once was a Limbaugh named Rush

There once was a Limbaugh named Rush
Who opened his mouth and let gush
Words that compare
Nazis and health care
Dishonoring the the victims too much.

Limerick: reporting from North Korea

There once were two reporters from the states
Who found themselves in dire straights
Reporting from the hell
of a prison cell
In North Korea, for God’s sakes.

Limerick: There once was a curmudgeon from Bali

There once was a curmudgeon from Bali
Who spoke dirty to a lady from Bengali.
He was so crusty
When he called her busty
That she punched him like Muhammad Ali.

Limerick (sort of): The Senators who…

The Senators who are quick to maul
Universal health care for all
Have government plans
That care for their clans
Missing many not in their hallowed hall.
