Merely grounded, you’re sorry and say that you’ll change how you’re acting today but the truth of it is it’s your fault and not his so your privileges have gone away.

So your privileges have gone away? For a while, time at home's here to stay. With those lemons, don't bolt; it won't be difficult if you make lemonade; it will pay.

It will pay if you make lemonade from the lemons you’re given in trade of the things which you think you deserve; make it pink and you’ll sell it before it is made.

When you sell it before it is made it's like counting on chickens you've spayed to be laying great eggs; you'll be living on dregs and be spending retirement dismayed.

If you’re spending retirement dismayed when your cash management’s off a shade and each day’s a close shave because you didn’t save; do some cutting. You’ll need a sharp blade.

If you use a sharp blade when you're cutting it's not likely that you will be putting on a country club green; you'll be going between the soup line and the fish that you're gutting.

Gutting fish when you’re in a soup line is a strange act before you can dine. Are you adding raw meat to that soup ere you eat which will sicken and make you supine?

Here's an oops! I mistakenly created a loglimerhyme... so I figgered I may as well post it.
If you're planning to sue, why the pine? There are other trees there in the line that is blocking your view. You're an old fuddy-duddy; so chill! How will you pay the large lawyer bill? Look around; the sky's blue.
Limerick:
If you're planning to sue, why the pine? There are other trees there in the line that is blocking your view. Best that you tell your crew not to chop them all down; cut the whine!

Stop the wine or they’ll chop them all down and have timber enough for a town. Give the lumberjacks beer to quench thirsts or I fear the green forests will be bare and brown.

If they're standing there all brown and bare where the forest once stood, and folks stare at their old, scrawny legs little more now than pegs, let them go up in flames with a flare.

Let them go up in flames with a flare for their gross inefficiency there and when fires are put out there can be little doubt we will vote in some folks who may care.

When we've voted in people who care they begin to see all the crap there is to get a thing done; oft you've lost when you've won, 'cause in politics, ain't much that's fair.

Who caused politics not to be fair when the whole situation up there was set up where some serve all the people? The nerve of those few who now need an Au pair!

One of few who are called an old pair? Are you frumpy and now have no hair while your wife's doing fine, who no one will malign? Fifty years? people ask, then just stare.

“Fifty years?” people ask then just stare with suspicion that someone would care for each other that long but when love is the song it is sung until nobody’s there.

If you're singing, and nobody's there better check close to see if you're bare standing wet in your tub... or are you in the club karaoke night... emptied each chair!

Karaoke night empties each chair as the crowd gathered there wants to share a complete lack of voice so the club had no choice but to lock the doors, keeping them there.

If they're locking the doors to keep in everyone who's involved in your sin could it be you're in hell? Or perhaps you're not well but in bed and hallucinatin'.

If hallucinating in your bed could it be that it’s all in your head from that fresh mushroom stew that you ate. I think you should buy them from the grocer instead.

So you're grocery-shopping from bed with those sugar-plumb visions in head? What's the internet charge when they ship to the barge where you live? Isn't flooding a dread?
