Limericks

There once was someone who froze up

At a voice raised or a man struck

He lived in his head

And wrote on his bed

And was diagnosed as chronically moonstruck

There once was a forest Tasmanian

Loud with insects subterranean

And the calls of the birds

Rang out in place of words

The silence there now is just alien.

There once was a system unequal

Where property had rights much like people,

And just like with love or

Ending processing offshore

There was no time for matters cerebral

There once was a medic impudent

In his last days as a student

Addicted to reading

And hooked on daydreaming

He expulsed limerickal pollutant
