Our Town's Old Fire Chief Ron

Our town's old fire chief Ron's a real lunkhead
When the alarm rings, he lingers in bed
   He yawns, then he stretches
   And, of course, he k'vetches*
If you wait for Ron, you'll surely be dead 

After protests got rid of the police
They went after old Ron like angry geese
   They announced they'd attack
   That roused Ron from the sack
The fool grinned, "Hey, let's smoke the pipe of peace!"






*'k'vetches' is Yiddish for 'complains'

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 6/15/2020 12:07:00 AM I love learning new words. I have not heard of k'vetches. I enjoyed your limericks Gershon. xxoo Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 6/15/2020 7:01:00 PM I can't imagine that too many Hawaiians speak Yiddish these days. lol. At any rate, I try to only use words that are already part of the American lexicon. K'vetch is probably in the dictionary at this point. Thanks, Connie
