got no reception with his antenna --
except when wired
to the church spire.
Piety left him on the horns of dilemma.

Windsurfer Limerick
Some hardcore fanatic windsurfers
found sunny days couldn't match their fervor.

to ride a hurricane,
and rode the wind from Jamaica to Port Arthur.

but his view was different from inside.

escaping over a stone wall,

Miracle [Limerick]
A sinner sat himself down in a pew --
A first-timer, he didn't know what to do.

Dazzling color, so bright!
(Miracle repeats daily 'bout half past two.)

Locomotive [Limerick]
The man loved travel by locomotive.
It was all of the time in the throat of
tunnels, so dark and deep --
one couldn't see a peep.
He had night vision goggles... and motive.

led a tourist to say, "What the deuce?"
"I just cannot deal
with a tour bestial,
and the memories that it might induce."

Frankfurt Limerick
A streetwalker from Old Town Frankfurt
had a proclivity for getting hurt.

Drunkard’s Cask [Limerick]
A drunkard put a cask atop his car
so he wouldn't always have to find a bar.
Under that kind of weight --
The car's range: km - 8,
But his own range per liter wasn't that far.
