While he smiles, it is hard to forgive
broken oaths that are leaking like sieves;
he can't keep to a scrap
of his 'honesty' crap
'cause his lies every promise outlive.

Hi Daniel,

I was talking about "revering the words of" the Pope in my Limerick. Were you, perhaps, thinking about O'bummer!

Be back with an answer to your post soon.

Wasn't thinkin' of only one dude;
there are plenty who oughta be booed
for their service to us.
Throw 'em under the bus
when they want their elections renewed!

Thank You, New York City!

Their elections, re nude: What they want
are the politicians who don’t flaunt
promises with their junk.
Five percent for that punk?
All he really deserved was a taunt.

All he really deserved was a four
although he thought he should have scored more
He thought he was a stud
but girls thought him a dud
and they booed him right off of the floor

Booted off of the floor? They were right
to send him screaming into the night.
The bridesmaids had conspired
but the stripper they’d hired
didn’t match the pic on his website.

Since his website had offered a pic
you would think that the guy could hand-pick
who he wanted to date,
but you see from the spate
of responses... they thought him a prick!

What they thought pricked responses from him
for his chances with girls were quite slim.
Bad physique but quite smart
he realized he should start
with a daily work out in the gym.

A workout may seem like great fun
with push-ups or maybe a run
but when one gets home,
inclined not to roam
for damage to health has been done.

If you've damaged your health, to recover
is something you'll try to discover
in your yard or the gym
or by taking a swim...
or perhaps doing things under cover?

Snug under the covers I go
to a world which no one can know.
then slide down the bed
sheet over my head
as outside its twenty below.

If it's twenty below, you're outside
seeking shelter; a warm place to hide
for frostbite will eat toes
and as everyone knows
you'll need bandages to be applied.

The applying of bandages now
is something that time must allow
for when a bone breaks
or ribcage just aches,
need's must, is for one who knows how.

Say Mush! if your lead dog knows how
to lead as you stand at the prow
of your sled while snow
numbs your jowls, although
Hall 'n Oates is your Quaker know-how.

Does your Quaker know how to haul oats
when he’s feeding his horses and goats?
Will he coax his mule team
with some carrots or deem
that a risk ‘cause it gives them the bloats?

If your wrist hurts from writing long notes,
carpal tunnel could be what promotes
the pain in your arm
and doing great harm.
Don't you want to be rowing your rowboat?

When rowing a boat on the lake
entranced by the ripples we make
reflections of sun
can cause us to run
into unseen rocks by mistake.

If you rollick and roll by mistake
when they're rappin', it's best to forsake
the rhythm you're in;
just stand with a grin,
then fake a brake dance 'til you shake.

If you break when you shake a fake dance
I would say you are taking a chance
that the mob on the floor
might push you out the door;
because flatulence can stain your pants.

When your flatulence stains your white pants,
best to pull out your shirt; let it glance
over where the blot shows.
But if smell hits your nose,
better boogie on out with a prance.
