There once was a fellow named Petty

There once was a fellow named Petty
Who said that it seemed such a pity     
            That folks of all hue
            Who only watched TV news
Can be molded like just so much putty.

There once was a man named Colbert

There once was a man named Colbert;
Pretending to be full of hot ert.
            When he placed his true self
            On the CBS shelf
He showed there was nothing in thert.

The Supermoon has come and went;

The Supermoon has come and went;
Another fear-causing event.
            I did see a moon,
            That did make me swoon.
Just not the one everyone meant.

An argument against race mixing

I said it to everyone’s faces,
I don’t believe in mixing races.
            Sprinters should run real fast;
            Marathoners to last.
All you athletes should keep to your places.

What happened to Tom Brady’s phone?

What happened to Tom Brady’s phone?
Is it lost?  Did it break?  Was it thrown?
     His last call?  From Gisele,
    Who was giving him hell
For deflation when they’re alone.

There once was an actor named Ian

There once was an actor named Ian
Whose 90210-ness was dyin’.
            So he teamed up with Tera
            In a SyFy scara.
Now the Sharknado franchise is flyin’.

Watch for Sharknado 3:  Oh, Hell No! to be shown repeatedly on the SyFy network.  It will make you feel better about some of the choices you have made in the past.

Superman has good reason to vent.

Superman has good reason to vent.
Everybody knows he is Clark Kent.
            Luthor gave him a shock
            When he bought the whole block
And quintupled Superman’s rent.

Obscure Saturday Night Live reference limerick

When Chris and Pat finally were wed,
Their post on Facebook simply said,
             “There are no invitations
            For closed-minded relations,
We are inviting the Supreme Court instead.”

There once was a fellow named Earl

There once was a fellow named Earl
Who once was a woman named Pearl.
            On the very first day
            He got a raise in pay
Just for letting his pee-place unfurl.

The arrests of the top guys at FIFA*

The arrests of the top guys at FIFA*
Should not be beyond our beliefa.
            They developed the knack
            Of handling a kickback
Not like a defenda – a thiefa.

*Sorry, I don’t know that the letters mean.  I don’t speak soccer.

It’s National Hamburger Day!
Throw your better judgment away!

            Can’t make you much rounder.
And the waif look is just so passé.

*Quarter-Pounder** is a registered trademark of McDonalds.

We see “Happy Memorial Day”

We see “Happy Memorial Day”
Plastered all over Facebook today.
            Remember the price
            Of their sacrifice.
It’s not just a day off with pay.

Remember the heroes Flight 93.

There once was a fellow named Letterman.

There once was a fellow named Letterman.
On TV there just was no better man.
            For so many years,
            Each one of his peers
Has admitted to being a debtor, man.

There once was a computer hacker

There once was a computer hacker
Who said, “I’m an airline attacker!”
            He may be smart as hell,
            But to own up and tell?
Seems to me, he’s a common sense lacker.

There once was a QB named Brady

There once was a QB named Brady
Who everyone knew played it shady.
            This talentless hack
            Just holds the Pats back.
We hope Coach Bill starts thinking trady.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has received a 4-game suspension for having theoretically knows that footballs used in games were slightly underinflated.  Hanging is too good for him!
