Three Limericks


W.H. Auden

As poets have mournfully sung

Death takes the innocent young,

The rolling in money,

The screamingly funny,

And those who are very well hung.

 

Robert Conquest

A usage that’s seldom got right

Is when to say “shit,” and when “shite.”

And many a chap

Will fall back on “crap,”

Which is vulgar, evasive, and trite.

 

Moi

Picking my nose in the nude

Might seem a little bit rude,

But it’s in to the knuckle

And with any luck’ll

Be out while we’re still in the mood.



Robert MacLean is a bad poet and an independent filmmaker. His The Light Touch is on Amazon Prime, Tubi, Scanbox and YouTube, and his 7-minute comedy is an out-loud laugh. He is also a screamingly funny novelist, a playwright, a blogger, a YouTuber, a reviewer of films, a literary critic, and a stand-up comic poet. Born Toronto, PhD McGill, taught at Canadian universities, too cold, lives Greece, Irish citizen. He is of towering intellect but, as is often the case with such people, not that bright.
