This day held for primary vote, Saw the **Hippie** ’s post of a note, He should cast his ballot, cast not one, but a pallet, And reelect some old goat. Charlotte had kin she did boast, Whose legend to **Spider** ’s was most, Magnificent in **style** , and cunning and guile, and turned a poor minnow to toast. :: shoulda stuck to prose!! :: ---

To compare the **Spiritus Mundi** , To a fellow known as Ted Bundy, Seems a bit off the mark, for when caught in the park, The Mundi’s ID said _Al_ Bundy. ---

Though **Mundi** , like so many nerds, Has mastered alot of long words, In thinking with clarity, He’s yet to reach parity, His thoughts are not fit for the birds. ---

There once was a poster, or two Yes, three, that I actually knew When taken by one Most pleasant, and fun But together, they’re shrill and brash too If indeed we end up in the pit I won’t worry or think ill of it I will instead return The respect you have earned And for this I have been seen as fit There once was a thread that I loved Though of limericks, as tame as a dove Now you three have seen fit To have brought in some grit Well, all’s fair, so off with the gloves!! ---

While Spider was in Office Training Poets were no longer abstaining. But some were quite haughty and really too naughty while they were each other disdaining. Now Spidey says “Listen, you guys!” (And you’ll do so if you are quite wise.) "If this dissing resumes I’ll send you to your rooms! “Enough is enough!” Spidey cries. -----☹ —////\\ ---

ahem, to get this back into the limericking spirit… There once was a plumber named Barry Whith a face and an ass truly hairy When he’s fixing a leak His clients would freak Not knowing at which side they were staring There once was a Lawyer named Phil Who said 'All my clients get chills Not at hearing their sentance Do they show their repentance But it’s after they look at my bills There once was a naughty Professor Who was quite the snappy undresser When teaching his class He would flash them his ass But they seemed to have learned none the lesser ---

A fluttering, flatulent flutist considered becoming a nudist. The bassoonist cried “Spare us! We just couldn’t ‘bare’ this.
