Limerick Poems

Free Verse

“Artificial” often indicates “worse”, 
Yet for intelligence it’s the converse. 
When it comes to research
AI’s on the top perch, 
But for poems it’s not worth a sesterce. 

Pragmatic Position

Proud poets parade playful wordy wit, 
Their careful craft becomes just diddly s..t. 
No matter how hard we may try 
Can’t outdo IQ of AI. 
Shall we hoist the white flag and run with it?! 

Digital era deemed undignified, 
As bright grey matter becomes atrophied. 
Before the mindset goes awry, 
We shall eschew diddly AI

Monkey Man

Oh please don't spank your monkey my friend 

Your animosity has no end

Much like flogging a dog

You keep flogging your log

First you spank it, then spank it again

Taking the Micky

Some find it a joy taking the micky
Of those who find life is often tricky
With problems to face
That bestow heartache
To you who dares, I send you this ditty.

The Twilight Zone

There once was a man named Rod Serling,
Whose tales were quite frightening and sterling.
Across the airwaves, strange futures he brings,
He'd show you odd truths of all different things.

A woman who was quite a brat,
Was shrunken down and sat on a mat.
By the window, a strange shadow grew,
She'd lost her whole world in a flash and

Lover Grandpa

There once was a lonely old poet,
Who wooed women with verses so know-it,
They’d smile and then say,
“You’re charming, dear ye,
But grandpa’s more apt—still, he’ll still show it.”

Poor Peter

Poor Peter is feeling so glum.
He can't go and play with his chums.
A bad case of the mumps
has him down in the dumps.
"Stay in bed!" - strict orders from Mum!

More Than A Soft Toy

for-More Than A Soft Toy Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Natasha L Scragg 

there once was a child from Adelaide,
who had a teddy called Marmalade.
taking each other by the hand,
they roamed imaginations land:
there, they never turned scared or afraid.

this world they only had each other,
no mother, father or big brother.
on a tandem they would ride,
or they`d

Tall And Thin

His name was Dan but most called him “snake”,
we listened intently to each thing that he spake.
His voice would croak,
and that is no joke,
Because he was different we thought him a flake.

My Friend Wagon John

Wagon John was not just another old cowpoke.
In conversation I heeded most words he spoke.
a wagon his home,
wherever he’d roam.
He died alone on the trail without any kinfolk.

BONJOUR, MA CHERIE

BONJOUR, MA CHÉRIE!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Val was a young French squirrel, a model quite chic
Who shopped at only high-end, fashion boutiques.
     Clerks greeted her, “Bonjour, ma Chérie!
     Vous avez l'air belle et aérée!”
“C'est vrai, mes peeps. Wearing Dior gives me a mystique.”

Val struck a pose, paparazzi's camera's flashed,
 For being

Deuce, says the higher court

Twenty seven years just to putt,
Court still feels it was a short cut.
The white wigs left long back,
We’re still on the same track,
The slow snail courts snore, eyes half-shut.

My Michelin-Cook dream

The cheese was felt chewy at lunch,
I found after a long-drawn munch.
What could have been amiss?
I’d left the wrap on cheese,
Reflecting long I had the hunch.
With that ended great whim--
My Michelin-Cook dream,
Collapsed which as if in a bunch.

Trumpfoolery Skullduggery

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all the people all of the time—Lincoln

Truth’s a slow lumbering giant
As his fools remain compliant
Lies bite and scurry
To a clueless jury
Nurtured to be spoiled and defiant

In a proxy war

In a clash of burgers and biryani,
Manchurian with Russian fares so many,
All else that watch the fun
From fence with just bread-bun…
To guess who’ll lose, who’ll win,
It’s too early a scene,
Seems, burgers might lose their ‘reserved’ penny.
