No column this week, friends. Bumped by a series on guns, if you can believe it.

So instead, on to limericks!

There was once a man named O’Rourke
A much better lawyer than Bork
His greatest achievement
Beyond any believment
Was inventing wine bottles sans corks!


I knew an old woman named Sondra
Who had the most curious mantra
“You know you’re at peace,
When you’re covered in fleece,
And driving to work in a Honda.”


A college worker named Kate
Kept her friends’ favorite foods up to date
“Mickey D are all crooks,
So we’ll stick strictly to Brooks’,
And I’ll ship it to you if you’ll wait.”

There’s no one at all who is slicker
At getting in free than McVickar
“It so much more fun
When the payment is, ‘None”
And you still breeze by the turnstyle ticker

Feel free to join in at any time.
