Limericks

A priest, a rabbi and a monk
Said "we're agreed - religion is bunk"
But sheep must be led
And we must be fed
So let's keep on spew'in out junk


My street's full of stay-at-home moms
I'm reminded of tupperware and proms
But what will they do
If he says "We're through!"
She'd need a good lawyer for balms


Welcome to your first day
Your cubicle is 42A
Your phone is on tape
There is no escape
Now get to work and earn your pay

 

There was a young man from Nantucket
He vowed to see the world 'for kicken the bucket
But when he got back
He wife said, "fancy that!"
I'm go'in with you on your next junket

 

He has a job that's cush
He owes it all to Bush
He favored his girlfriend
Now it's the end
They want to give him the push

 

"A lack of refining capacity"
Certainly defines audacity
Billions aren't enough
To refine the stuff?
I think I smell mendacity

 

My license plate says "Impeach"
It brought the cops, who stopped with a screech
That's strictly forbidden!
It needs to be hidden!
What happened to freedom of speech?

 

Some people do knock the Prius
They sneer whenever they see us
I have a feeling, my friend
They worked for GM
The truth is, they want to be us

 

"The word is 'wu wei'. It can be translated several ways, but I tend to think of it as 'active nonaction'.

Do not try to do, just do.
Do not actively try to solve your problems, let them solve themselves.
Be like water. Do not let yourself be injured by the rocks of life. Flow around them."


When stop 'n go traffic
Makes you psychopathic
Follow the Tao
It shows you how
To avoid stress disease idiopathic

 

Dealing with reality's a chore
Let's put the world on global ignore
The invasion of Iraq
Will put democracy on track
We just need a trillion dollar war

 

Airport kid!

No rhymes today? All work and no play ...
