Limericks of the day
Not so much a limerick battle, just a friendly limerickal exchange.
My brother Steve & I usually email back & forth the day long. I hadn’t heard from him all day, so:
From: Brian Jones
To: Steve Meckleburg
An absence of email attests
To Steven’s obsession with breasts
“I was watching the tube
When on came some boobs
‘t’is likely you can guess the rest.”

From: Steve Meckleburg
To: Brian Jones <the.brian.e.jones@gmail.com>
While it’s true milky hangers distract,
I was busy with another act:
To quote Mel Brooks,
“Work work work work work work”
Leaving no time for chitty chit chat.

I had become concerned not just randomly — Steve’s wife has an uncle, Oscar, living in Iowa, who’s probably going to die soon, and at that time they’ll become legal guardians of the relative’s 15-year-old blind son:
From: Brian Jones
To: Steve Meckleburg
If someday soon Oscar should fail
And to Iowa you must high-tail
Give me a heads up
And I’ll raise a cup
And start writing limericks in braille

From: Steve Meckleburg
To: Brian Jones
Dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot-dot,
Dotty dot dotty dot dot dot dot.
Dot dot dot dot dot,
Dot dot dot dot dot:
“Dot dot dot, dot dot dot dot dot!”
