There’s this Seattle man called Dave
whose sweet wife gets him to behave
while his politics
still keep us transfixed
Of his blithe helpfulness we rave
Her stirring up the dust leaves us nonplussed
There was this woman outright pernickety
while mired as well in habits persnickety
She’s excelled stirring up the dust
leaving us all feeling nonplussed
Stemming from our own low standards rickety?
From being opinionated begging to be exonerated
A person has turned my doppelganger
thus an opinionated ‘haranguer’
stuck in hapless controversy
he prays ardently for mercy
as his every day has turned cliffhanger
Us humans try to enforce, but Life runs its very own course
There is this Rep persevering
quite determined of careering
but while times keep changing
need not be deranging
something else shall be appearing!
After years of yearning then finally turning: 18!
Time for Sam to majorly exult:
“Today is the day I turn adult!”
Eighteen a special number
that shall us disencumber
when from childhood shot by catapult
His life’s snug moorage while for her mere free storage? Yes, she’s statuesque but as well ‘clutteresque’
Looked at his place as his Life’s moorage
while she’d been searching for free storage
When she brought her stuff in all
just room for him in the hall
where awkward to cook breakfast porridge
Medan på World Economic Forum låtsas dekorum
Det mäktiga Toppskiktet i Davos
hör ju endast sina egna ‘bravos’
alltmer vidgad ojämlighet
hotar samhällens hållbarhet
Som märks även i lugna Alingsås
His physics mind shoots thunderbolts, his body flips in somersaults
A limerick on a birthday of a neighbor who’s both an accomplished scientist & in his youth gymnast:
There was a youngish man called Igor
who treats all he meets with ardor
a man of great science
with strong self-reliance
Among Norse gods resembles most Thor!

Why Thor? Because they both rather swing a thunderbolt hammer than just sit around and yammer
Glad to Have You Home
A Limerick on the occasion of Conner, a grandson, returning home to Sunset Hill in Seattle after serving as a paratrooper with the IDF.
There was a young man from Sunset Hill
with many talents & of strong will
As a paratrooper Conner
served IDF with honor
For now, I suspect, he’s had his fill

In ever changing world she charges banner unfurled
Meet dauntless Ellie Parker Dynes
who will not be hemmed in by confines
In an ever changing world
charges she, banner unfurled
She won’t just cheer on from the sidelines
