Limerick
Though Leprechauns are seldom seen
We all know their hair is bright green.
They eat Irish stew
Drink much Mountain Dew
And their language becomes obscene.

They fade away as we grow old.
—Dragos Tomoiu

Her child is the cow that can’t moo.

Gets stuck in a cloud,
And screams very loud,
Then lands in a fresh, homemade pie.

He had a small fish,
But once the fish died,
A man ate it fried,
But that was McCoy’s fish wish!

Or crust and sugar over–
like a syrupy sweet?
.
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy...

The idea is to love, but the idea should be something else…
The idea is to love
The idea should be thinking
Because of that I’m slowly sinking
What am I supposed to choose,
When she acts like she’s having the brain of a goose?
She gives me no choice
Than to listen to the voice
Of my mind.[[MORE]]
She says I gotta be like that, like that
But HEY! Is is not my fault that...
