An old woman arose, feeling primed
To create sev'ral lim'ricks well-rhymed.
Alas, all that she'd planned
Went awry when she scanned
The day's headlines... an action #ill-timed.

When a verse 3-lines long feels too short,
I will sometimes attempt to consort
With a #quatrain or two,
Until things go askew...
And a lim'rick pops up, just for sport.

A woman whose spouse is a lout
Is always afraid to #speak out.
She'll pretend things are fine
And won't even opine
On the news. (But he's NEVER in doubt!)

When a guy calls a woman a #chick,
It may strike me as sexist and sick.
But my comments are tame;
Unless Richard’s his name,
I’m polite and I DON'T call him “dick.”

He said, “Gothic, by Wood.”
