Two – count ’em – TWO limericks (R.J. Clarken is rubbing off on me, clearly – and that’s a good thing, as you can tell by my sidebar, I Love These Poets, where she is listed under Light Verse) for ABC Wednesday, brought to you by the letter K. And neither of them mention the Kama Sutra!! Amy
Kow-Tow Boogie (ABC Wednesday, K)
To Madison Tea Party’s credit
They found out Scott Walker “don’t get it”
At first they did guard
this greedy blowhard
And now they admit they regret it!
Knowledge = Power
G.E. pays no corporate tax
Yes, these are the cold and hard facts
But lawyers finessed
to have G.E. blessed
with two billion in gov’ment kickbacks

Very clever 🙂
Sharp Little Pencil
Thanks, hon. Ran over to your site and MAN! You are on fire! Amy
Debbie
These are awesome, Amy! I’m hoping both you and RJ rub off on me. 🙂

I’m wondering how to incorporate limericks and Christ… you know what I mean? Sort of a pickles and ice cream thing… although Jesus sure has given me a lot to smile about – including you! Love, Amy
Rajesh
Truly wonderful.
Sharp Little Pencil
Thank you, Rajesh, and thanks for the bee and zinnia on your site, too! Lovely work. Amy
Roger Green

Luna, I wish I could commit to joining you, but my mind is such that I will lose track of the days… so maybe we will meet up on Writer’s Island, where I am posting my PADs this April? Thanks for coming by, and sorry, but I don’t promise things and then not deliver. Thanks for thinking of me! Peace, Amy
Meryl Jaffe
silly, whimsical, and with a message that packs a punch! Wow.
Sharp Little Pencil
I like mixing the message with an unexpected form. RJ really gets me going with her limericks, so… Thanks! Amy
Kim Nelson
Utterly entertaining this morning, Amy!
Sharp Little Pencil
Kim Kim Kim Kim. Free-verse extra “Special K” poem, LOL. Looking in on you too, hon, and glad you liked this one!
Joseph Harker
Bwahaha… excellent. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that I can’t write a good political poem, so I think you have to be the go-to person for those. These are wickedly good.
Sharp Little Pencil
RJ Clarken is my inspiration, also Sara Gwen writes a mean limerick, but since I’ve not been around PA for awhile, RJ is the queen. Somehow, combining politics with limericks is like talking treason in the back of a good Irish bar! Thanks, hon. I’m at Writer’s Island for PAD this year, hope to catch you soon! Amy

Roger Green
GONADs. I’m shocked, SHOCKED!
OK, I lied…
Sharp Little Pencil
LOL
RJ Clarken
Amy – these are great! I wanna see the gonad limerick, by the way.
Oh – and one other thing – while I am truly honored by your kind words (you totally rock, my friend!) the best consistent limericker (is that a word?) by far is Madeleine Begun Kane (MadKane.)
But y’know – we takes our inspiration where we gets it. You inspire me too. ☼
Sharp Little Pencil
I am also a big fan of Madeleine… but I’ve known you work longer, so you got the honors. How sweet of you to mention her – everyone, do take a look at Mad Kane’s site; it’s great.
Inspiration is in the air. Perspiration will follow soon!!
Madeleine Begun Kane
As you know, I’m a sucker for limericks, and I especially love political limericks. Good job on both of them — I really enjoyed them!
And thanks so much Amy and RJ for your kind words about my limericks. I really appreciate it, and I enjoy visiting both of your blogs.
Okay, enough with the mutual admiration society — the demands of National Poetry Month await us. 🙂
Sharp Little Pencil
Amen, sister! And hey, we ladies cannot support each other enough, in my opinion, same as our whole collective universe of poets, both male and female! Amy
