Limericks
For the
Mushroom FM birthday, Woody's making her listeners compose limericks to get a free t-shirt. Relatives not allowed, but Max and I got to demonstrate homemade limericks to inspire them. Max did one he made up on the way to school, and I did two that I wrote this morning:
For Passover, most Jews eat matzo(r)
We eat it plain, sometimes with butter
instead of flour
we grind it to powder
and cook it with eggs, oil, water
People say that they like history
But they just mean the Channel. Not me.
I'm not big on war.
Ice truckers? They bore.
I explain how things came to be.
The scan isn't perfect. Nor the rhyme. But for improv it's not bad.
