Limericks by Bob Aldrich

Limericks by Bob Aldrich

In early morning as I take my walk
The bird songs are like a pep talk.
They give inspiration
For limerick creation
From the rhymes and the verses I stalk.
I’ve discovered the longer I live
My brain’s less a sponge, more a sieve
Things just do not connect
And sometimes I suspect
My brain’s gotten some stray laxative.
Our Congress is not doing its job.
Law-making their politics rob.
We need inspiration
And less confrontation
Otherwise Congress is just a mob.
