Time for a little pat on the back. I just had my first limerick accepted by the OEDILF (The Omnificent English Dictionary In Limerick Form). It’s a mouthful alright. Their project is to create a limerick for every word in the dictionary. They’re currently working on Aa – Di. Anyone can join and submit limericks but be prepared…these folks are good! Your limerick needs to have perfect meter, rhyme, syllable accents, a good punch line and define the word in question. It’s great fun and very challenging with a good group of people. I’m just getting started but look forward to many more contributions. Check out their site for some great limericks. As I said, these folks are the best.
It was breed more than speed that I sought,
So at auction I tried to allot
Enough for two mares
And a stallion for heirs,
But a gelding is all that I got.

This is why I’m not a fan of Facebook although it’s not their fault. Some teenage girls had a slumber party and were fooling around taking suggestive pictures. No nudity but enough to get the ’self-righteous moralists’ attention (which is very easy to do). Somehow these pics made it off their Facebook site and into the hands of the Principal who…you guessed it…is one of the above. After he humiliated the girls, they called in the ACLU who filed suit. Yeah….I love those guys. There is nothing a self-righteous moralist hates more than free speech. These girls should take away three lessons from this fiasco:
1 – self-righteous moralists are everywhere and like to hide behind badges of authority.
2 – never post pics on the Internet unless you’re comfortable showing them to the whole world.
3 – sh*t happens.
The slumber party turned more complex
When officials decided to flex
Their morality muscle,
Now there’s a tussle.
The ACLU will teach ‘em respect.

I recently had the ‘opportunity’ to renew my subscription to one of the local newspapers. The new price was 400% higher than last year. I decided to let it lapse (a no-brainer) but then received a bill for the latest month that was automatically renewed at the higher rate. What gall! When I refused to pay, they threatened collection. More gall! Needless to say, I did not renew my subscription and they will never see another penny from me. Poor management can always slide by when things are going well but when trouble hits, the morons float to the top like drowned rats.
Newspapers are losing revenue.
So they think they can get more from you.
Readerships dropping
And subscriptions are stopping.
Somebody should read them their news.

The SEC is a joke! More evidence continues to surface on how badly they mangled the Bernie Madoff case. It’s beyond laughable. Now we have this latest insider trading arrest to show they’re back on the job and taking no prisoners. Baloney! Their reputation and credibility are toast. Changing bureaucrats at the top is like changing horses on the merry-go-round…you’re still going around in circles. Somebody stop this ride and let me off.
The SEC has a pitiful score,
Of uncovering the con men before,
The money’s withdrawn
And conclusion foregone.
They’re as useless as tits on a boar.

The Italian Police caught a big-time Mafioso boss as he was hiding out on a chicken farm. He had built himself a special room to evade searches. He’d been on the run since 1995 so he probably had a dozen of these hide outs. It fits with how these people do business. Sneak up and kill innocent, unarmed people then scamper back to hide with the chickens.
The leader of a Mafia group,
Was caught by police in a swoop
On a small poultry farm.
He heard no alarm
As the chickens had all ‘flown the coop’
