Two Takes on a Bullish Limerick

On Wall Street, there was a commodities bull.
The man knew finance, but could be rather dull.
He made the bacon,
until he was shaken 
to find foreign pork belly dumped by the shipful.
There was an oblivious bull of Wall Street
whose life was portfolios and spreadsheets.
His approach, academic,
missing news of pandemic,
he bet cruise ship line stock would increase.

Night Market [Free Verse]

in the chiaroscuro world
of the night market,
fruity colors blare in
orange,
green,
& 
yellow
between angular 
shadows

the sun is down;
the city is alive,
and soon the 
night market 
will be lively

Kuala Lumpur Limerick

There was a durian seller from K.L.
asked to leave the market 'cause of the smell.
"Buyers 'll find you with ease
from the scent of bad cheese,"
said the contrite landlord in his farewell.
