ER limericks

[REWahoo]

So, Meadbh rhymes with "save". Good to know. I learned something today.

You're overlooking the possibility she's really lousy at writing limericks?

A few years back there was a ER haiku thread.

Time to mix it up a bit...


Chained at his desk sits Harry
Stuck because retirement seems scary
There's plenty of treasure
He's ready for leisure
Dear wife is the one who is wary
[/INDENT]Hopefully the mods won't have to intervene...

Harry rhymes two or three times a day
Hard at work though he is, still he plays
and with FIRE in his sights
he takes great delight
at crafting poetic essays.

I did overlook that--completely. However, given the link above, Meadbh is pronounced "Mave". Which does rhyme pretty well with "save".

Turns out, I've been mispronouncing "Meadbh" in my head for many years.

You're welcome!

I grew up not far from County Limerick, so I should be able to put one together!

FIREd retired in San Francisco
gone are the suits and the large ego
live simply
and be happy
is what he chose as a life motto

Alternate ending:

FIREd retired in San Francisco
gone are the suits and the large ego
live simply
and be happy
but don't smoke the oregano.

This is the 2nd limerick I ever wrote.

NW-Bound prepped his RV
Headed for Quebec City
Portfolio drops in the loo
He says "Je m'en fous"
You can bet your sweet bippy
