A limerick pie is nothing more,
Than, stringing words together for,
A little fun,
Maybe a pun,
Or, some wisdom at the core.

MARCH IS THE MONTH WHERE WINTER BECOMES SPRING?
March is the month where winter becomes spring?
Wow, somebody's brain has had a bit of denting,
So how is it warm?
When all it does is snow storm,
Please, forgive my sarcastic venting.

TODAY WE ALL TAKE A LEAP
Today is the day we all take a leap,
We have to when the snow is knee deep,
Leap years make winters so long,
Adding a winter day is just wrong,
All I can say is Bleep!, Bleep!, Bleep!, Bleep!!!

Because their thoughts are always bitter,

Many who twitter tell lies,
Like the ecology ones who leave litter.

For my valentine drank way too much booze,

WHEN I SEE THE HURRICANE
When I see the hurricane,
I run away, I flee,
I do not like the hurricane,
Because drowning is not for me,
There are those who watch in awe,
The gales, the lightning, the rain,
But, I just fear being blown out to sea,
By the nasty hurricane,
So, call me a coward as I run away,
And though your words cause me some pain,
I know that I'll be around another day,
To run away from another hurricane.

THE FIRST OF FEBRUARY BRINGS A NEW SEASON

I say this without any rhyme or real reason,

Everyone finds their place someday,
If they cannot raise the bail. ,

THE ALIEN TRADE AGREEMENT
Crazy Benny went into deep space,
He went there to save the whole human race,
When he met an alien he said "check your shoelace",
Then Benny would spray him with his alien mace,
One day Benny met an alien with eyes all over his head,
Benny ran out of mace then his mind filled with dread,
Then the alien shook hands and said "My name is Fred,
Why do humans have such fear that you all wet to bed?"
Benny and the aliens became friends really fast,
They burried disagreements deep into the past,
Benny signed trade agreements that would clearly last,
In this new galaxy cheap labor numbers were vast,
Big business worships Benny until this very day,
He found them multi-taskers who would work for no pay.

And, no mere mortal storm comes between my family and me.

THE MAKING OF AN ANGEL LIMERICK
I was driving and watching the Northern Star,
Then three big bucks ran in front of my Saab car,
I swerved hard left to miss,
And gave an oak tree a kiss,
Now from the Northern Star I look down from afar.
Just how I earned my golden angel wings,
Is no topic of my favorite things,
I saw three big buck deer,
I hit my breaks and couldn't steer,
Now I'm in the choir where the angel sings.

THE TRAVELS OF LEIGH COLLIN BRANDT
I went to Russia to visit the Louvre,
But, I guess to Paris it made a sudden move,
I went to Spain to see the Pyramids of old,
But, I guess to Egypt they had been recently sold,
I went to Ireland to watch the Mets play,
But, the Mets moved to New York the local Irish did say,
I went to Amsterdam to visit the Pope,
But, he had been moved to Rome so, I felt like a dope,
Why do things change so I can’t keep them straight?
Will showing up at past events and times be my fate?
But, I live with a passion, and even a hope,
That at the end of my travels I’ll find scented soap.
