Archie Bunker

A cranky old man that rules his household
from his armchair. There isn't one he doesn't scold.
With jabbing comments and taunts;
feels he can say what he wants.
A shameful big mouth, hardheaded and bold.


His chauvinist views; women with boobies
were created to make meals and babies.
He still lives in the stone age
putting people in a rage.
Crazed old man, no respect for the ladies.

Eve, great limericks on that opinionated old man, and I enjoyed the video too. I wonder if that show would be accepted in this day and time, I think not !

I like this one; it was a great show in its day but, sometimes I think we are regressing back to the past. We just haven't come that far.

Yes, it still exist ... it is a shame. And the women will not fight back they cower into their little cocoons. Thank you for your visit and reading my poem, Swetha. Hugs Eve
