Write a Limerick

This house has dual AC,
Which I thought was a luxury.
But now that one's on the fritz
It's still livable; also it's
Covered by the homebuyer's warranty.
 
So I've been Cleaning out my Basement
How is that for Summer excitement
Now why did I buy a Power Ranger
or a Japanese Baby Jesus in a Manger?
Oh look, a Marantz with faceplate bent!
 
You may think someone's junk is a treasure.
They had sold it to you for good measure.
It held a family of mice
but you will fix it up nice
and that tube amp will give you much pleasure.
 
Bring home an amp with just one mouse
Has to be the best way to piss off my spouse
Even a score of a vintage Knight
Would end in a terrible fight
And she would be looking for a new house


Dedicated to Patricia, who's idea of pest control is to move. Still happily married after 16 years in a mouse free house.

I love music and so I'm behooved
to play those vinyl slabs that are grooved.
The needle travels the trenches
sometimes it jumps and it wrenches
But plays music until it's removed.
 
Don't panic, no need for alarm'a
It's me again, I'm a real charm'a
See I've been reading this book by Kerouac
Pondering my life, or should I say lack
Ruminating on the Road to Audio Dharma

The son of my neighbour has passed away,
A smart and precious boy in any way,
I hugged his mother
Like nobody other
What an incredibly depressing day.
 
My thoughts go out to you, Chris, and to his family. It shows how brief life can be.

Be happy when you wake up each day
be positive and enjoy your stay.
Life goes by much too fast
Live well, make it last
for tomorrow you may slip away.

And so the thread continues,
with limericks from here or other venues.
While neither is automatically best,
both kinds must withstand the test,
of the readers that come here to peruse.
