We can choose all we want, but after choice always comes the bill.
It is National Limerick Day and, much like life itself, limericks can be faithful, foolish and a bit lewd all at once. Here are two of my favorites that touch both ends of my spectrum.
God’s plan made a hopeful beginning.
But man spoiled his chances by sinning.
We trust that the story
Will end in God’s glory,
But at present the other side’s winning.
There was an old Countess of Bray,
And you might think it odd when I say,
That despite her high station
Rank and education,
She always spelled “C**t” with a K!
From a church pew to a barstool, astonishment and gusto can be found at both.
