Since you’ve been gone poetry has been Lax  
heck, it has been boring to the max  
just my luck,  
my rhymes now suck  
oh well, perhaps all they need is some wax.

Hey, I tried at least. 🙂

Creativity is what I lack,  
And I really don’t want to catch flak.  
I’m trying to rhyme  
But there’s so little time,  
And so I’ll just say welcome back!

The limerick king has returned

May good fortune and health  
and peace with yourself  
accompany freedom dearly earned.

It nearly brought tears to my eyes  
To read all these gushing replies.  
I felt truly missed  
To be \*“Hi”\*ed, hugged, and kissed;  
And the **licks** really gave me a rise!

The bad news (no whining, no sobs!)  
Is that I have a couple of probs:  
My time here’s restricted  
By a schedule conflicted  
With not one, but _two_ dadgum jobs!  
Every rose has its thorn, as it should;  
So ponder, Zenlike, if you would:  
What’s good news seems bad,  
Thus we need not be sad;  
Spaketh the Buddha: _“It’s all good.”_  
That said, I must get some rest  
And not make of myself such a pest  
With long posts of verse  
(Some bad and some worse)…  
So consider yourselves to be blessed.
