Limerick, Poetic Form Exercise Options

[Larry]

Finding men who are black or just white
is a trip on futility’s flight.
There’s a spectrum between
but no souls can be seen
and that search may kiss mankind goodnight!

[JustDaniel]

So you're not into kissing good night?
Do your dates always kick up a fight?
Maybe not move so fast
so she won't feel harassed?
She would certainly be less uptight!

[Larry]

She’s uptight every night; that’s a fact
on the stage where the men think she’s stacked
so they fill up her pants
with big bills for a chance
but her bank account’s all they’ll impact!

[JustDaniel]

When your bank account's lacking impact
your investments may need to be backed
by someone with more cash
who has no need to slash
your expenditures so you can act

[Larry]

Do you act as if what you now spend
is a life-style that never will end?
Some folks think life is hard
without their plastic card
while their credit score’s gone with the wind.

[JustDaniel]

If your credit score's gone with the wind
you had best give a damn or you'll find
that your lifestyle will crack
and you'll be on your back
where your debts keep you on your behind

[Larry]

All my debts are behind me; I’ve learned
to pay cash. Unabashedly spurned
to use cards to buy stuff;
I have more than enough
and my fantastic plastic I’ve burned.

[JustDaniel]

burning plastic is bad for your lungs
from black smoke out of fire's flaming tongues
best to cut them in pieces
as that act decreases
liabilities you'd be among

[Larry]

Lie ability’s gauge is a skill
politicians refine for the thrill
of election’s success
but will never confess
it enhances the chances to steal.

[JustDaniel]

If you're looking for chances to steal
have rich friends to your house for a meal
Sloshed in liquor perhaps
while they're all taking naps
check their wallets for cash they conceal

[Larry]

There’s no cash in those wallets today
for there’s many more ways folks can pay.
What with Apple and Google
their no longer frugal
and those old dollar bills are passé.

[JustDaniel]

If you're passing off old dollar bills
for excitement and even cheap thrills
then you'd best settle down
if you're going downtown
lest they catch you while purchasing pills

[Larry]

I don’t purchase my pills anymore
and I rarely go to a drug store
for the V.A. agreed
they’d send me what I need
but they can’t even Viet Nam’s score.

[JustDaniel]

Viet Nam doesn't owe me a thing
but Express Scripts sends drugs on the wing
through my TriCare account
that's tri-monthly a fount...
and it doesn't depend on Bejing

[Larry]

Old Beijing should be wearing depends
that stay wet. You’re almost out of friends
for you’ve pissed off the world
with the threats you have hurled
and there’s only one way it all ends.

[JustDaniel]

If stuff's coming out of both ends
it may help if you're wearing Depends
but you might keep a bag
somewhere handy... or lag
far behind to the head... as one tends

[Larry]

If you’re tending to lag far behind
I don’t think that the others will mind
for they don’t want to spend
lots of time when down wind
breathing gas from the place you last dined.

[JustDaniel]

If you dine at the place you get gas
where truck drivers are warming their ass
then they say that the food
is likely quite good
and the head your inspection will pass

[Larry]

If you go inspect heads where you eat
for some mess or a wet toilet seat
but you find it quite nice;
smells like sugar and spice,
then you’re in the wrong room… it’s too neat.

[JustDaniel]

You prefer a restroom that's not neat?
You like brown stuff smeared wet on the seat?
Please don't ask me to dine
with you! I like mine
where the toilets are clean and upbeat.
