get to ze choppah!

Got a cheap helicopter flight;

Went up to see what it was like.

If it weren’t for high prices,

I’d be getting that license.

Instead I’ll just dream of it at night.

 

run for it!

Running, it once was a bore;

But now I find myself going for more.

I did a 10k

And I ran the whole way.

To my surprise, I got a decent score!

 

sharing the burden

Evaluating software off-site

Requires many hours to get right.

I asked for some time;

She said, you can’t have mine.

What’s she think I’ll be doing all night?

 

impromptu visits

I’m delighted to have all this time

To spend with these great friends of mine.

But then, of course, it’s true

I had things I wanted to do–

But really there’s no cause to whine.

 

that’s the last time i try to learn something

I decided to take a class

To help improve my skills real fast.

Though I learned a little that mattered,

The instructor really just chattered,

And mostly I wished it was past.

 

saturday, saturday

It’s ten-thirty on Saturday night.

The neighbors have music up quite

Loudly; I hear

The bass beats in my ear.

I’m getting old; this isn’t right.

 

 

the work is not enough

At work I have too much to do.

It may be my fault, it’s true.

I’m attempting to find

A project I don’t mind;

As a result, my workload I rue.

 

 

on cars and insurance

Oops, I was in an accident.

I thought she’d stopped, but then she went.

Now I’m facing increases–

Insurance plan fleeces

Me: surcharge of twenty percent.

 

an introductory limerick

There once was a girl from the ‘ville

Who decided she needed a thrill.

She wrote up some rhymes

About her life and her times;

Hopefully that will now fit the bill.
