Limerick poems about summer vacation
There’s a painter who came from the Low Lands
Whose sunflowers fill tell-and-show stands
His ear got the hatchet
But nothing can match it
The opus produced by Van Gogh hands
There’s a village in France that they call Salon
The home of a star-struck phenomenon
And old Nostradamus
Wrote verses to warn us
But never foresaw Mr. Q-anon
Measuring stars on the Memphis meridian
Under Anubis unearthing obsidian
Pyramid structures
Where reasoning ruptures
The afterlife swiftly supplants the quotidian
On the Indian sea near Djibouti
The sailors grow lonesome and moody
And night after night
They imagine the sight
Of a baby beluga’s big booty
There’s an atom that can’t be repaired
When the nuclear energy’s shared
But beware of the boost
From the power produced
It’s the mass times the speed of light squared
My friend from the seventh dimension
Arrived with a recent invention
He’s foreign and stateless
And loves feeling weightless
His body is held in suspension
