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

IDF: Israeli Defense Forces
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
Straight A:s
On the occasion when granddaughter Sarah, a high school junior, earned straight A:s
There was this sharp determined student named Sarah
who ushered in a new academic era
Earned straight A:s by her own volition
wouldn’t follow family tradition
that until now of scholars dry as Sahara
A limerick on a family couple’s anniversary
There was this couple smart & endearing
who loved sports, while don’t know how god-fearing
A loving civil couple
living a marriage supple
but then they had met in engineering
On Lincoln High winning the 2023 WA state soccer championship
Defenders’ strong resistance ignored
by Sam in dazzling, rushed attack floored
Of opposing team awless
he served a pass so flawless
that even his Farfar could’ve scored
+)
-Sam: Our grandson, who provided the pivotal pass in the close 1-0 victory
-Farfar: grandfather in Swedish
Now she moans & groans. Walked under drone with nose on her phone.
Crashing pizza delivery drone
hits customer with nose on smart phone
such is the pedagogy
of ‘talking’ by emoji
Got a taste of drone by AI flown
Young women’s appeal, young men’s ordeal
When invited as a banquet date
did fate present him with a soul mate?
but his heart a Wheel of Ferris
instead he flies off to Paris
are rapturous flings but his sole fate?
Rekorderlig
Den som finner dagen hanterlig
är visst en person reputerlig
som ej skjuter från höften
mens håller sina löften
en som kan kallas rekorderlig
