Partisan Limerick

There once was a little snowflake,
though America a mistake,
so he went to Iran,
spoke his mind and was hanged,
he learned his lesson far too late.

Premium Member He Probably Learned His Lesson Too

We get a new mattress.
The dog is intrigued.
He chews it to bits.
We have no words.
Because he is a baby.
And we know he does not mean it.

We get new curtains.
He pulls them down.
The rod falls on his head.
I am sure he yelped.
We were not home
But we think he probably has learned his lesson.

Premium Member Easier Vowed Than Done

     Like melted snow in summer’s vase
        she vanished without a single trace

     Turned his whole life inside-out 
        that inconstant gadabout 

     Surely, he’d learned his lesson, our erstwhile Don Juan
        vowed never again to fall for such a con… 

     Yet, when next he saw her 
         a handsome beaux on her arm

     He discovered the lesson he’d learned was
         ~ he just couldn’t move on

Premium Member News Junkie

He was obsessed with news
From all sources still couldn’t get enough
Morning noon afternoon and night
Spiralled him into a fake foreign world
Came very close to ruining his life
Blind unaware clueless, didn’t see it coming
Recklessly driving off the cliff of sanity
Sadly t’was the beginning of the end
He had it all, let it slip
Took it for granted till t’was gone
Learned his lesson? We’ll see.

Premium Member Silly Billy - Nursery Rhyme

Silly Billy went and ate
all the cookies his mom baked.
Getting too sick was his fate
for his tummy ached and ached.

You might think this silly guy
would have learned his lesson, right?
When his mother made a pie,
it then disappeared from sight.

Billy, like a big fat hog -
He had gobbled it all down!
He got sicker than a dog.
Mention pies, and still he’ll frown.

Tuff Girl

Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet 
drinking a mocha late, 
but when that old spider sat down beside her
she pulled out her Mace and let spray!

That arachnid took flight to her great delight 
having learned his lesson in spades.
Miss Muffet was tough not made of fluff 
her skills on defense made the grade.

Now this comely young Miss did indeed want a kiss
but not from a hairy old bug. 
The romance she sought would be dearly bought
by a guy that she actually dug.
