Coffee Klatch

Coffee Klatch
by Rick Lime

For the news I'm afraid there's no match
Who's deceased, what bride made a good catch
Will the coach get the boot
"Think the waitress is cute?"
Don't be late for the town coffee klatch



For Bobby Burns

I posted this on facebook last week, but forgot to blog it.

For Bobby Burns
by Rick Lime

A man is a man for a’ that
His money’s worth nary a squat
Yet with poor honesty
An’ through brotherhood he’ll
Be a king, for a’ that and a’ that

A fellow stepped into the hall

A fellow stepped into a hall
by Rick Lime

A woman stepped into the holl-er
A classic’ly trained square dance call-er
She plays Ludwig Van
And says “Left Allemande”
With the chance that the dancers might Mahl-er

When Ms Clinton stepped into the hall
“You’d be fired by me” said Rand Paul
Hear the Oz lion sing
“If I’d only been king”
Is that pride going before the fall?

A fellow stepped into the hall
First he wept, then he started to bawl
There’s Liz Lemon and Jack
Tracy Morgan and Krak
He had just said good bye to them all


A feller was fixin ta haul
His ramshackle wreck to St. Paul
The dad-burned directions
Shore had imperfections
He purt near drove by Montreal

A fellow stepped into the hall
‘tween the bed and the head on the yawl
And then grinning he swore
“I’ve been blown offshore
And my mast is beginning to fall”

If’n y’all would step into the hall
This here feudin’ we jes might forestall
Ain’t rightly my bidness
But this pro and quid-ness
Is too high-falutin, by gall

How long is that?

How long is that?
by Rick Lime

A transferring student named Peter
Went in search of the school totter-teeter
Asking "Where's the school yard?"
The old teacher mis-h'ard
And said "Just shorter than a school meter."

Burn in

It's been a while since I wrote something lewd or risque.

Burn in
by Rick Lime

It betrays all the time that he spends
On those days with his internet “friends”
There’s an image of asses
Burned into his glasses
That “search xxx” recommends

Hopey Change

I don't think I'm generally spiteful, but sometimes ...

Hopey Change
by Rick Lime

A while ago, Palin would shout
"How's that hopey change thing workin' out?"
At the start of this term
She's beginning to squirm
'Cuz her tea party's almost in rout

A woman had planned to come clean

Entries in Mad Kanes weekly Limerick-off contest

A woman had planned to come clean
by Rick Lime

A fellow who hated to clean
Has created a washing routine
Now he schedules each bath 
Using log’rithmic math
So they’re fewer and farther between

A woman had planned to come clean
But in Smithers, just making the scene
She was randy and lonely
And so she not only
Got drunk, she blew two Smithereens

A fellow is now coming clean
Fastest bicycling junkie there’s been
And he could be forgiven
If he’d only striven
T’ apologize for being mean

A fellow had planned to come clean
To his son, speaking like a machine
He said “Luke, I’m your father
I hope it’s no bother
I guess though, you’ll make a big scene
