Limericks

Dear Friend,

I had a few minutes to peruse the Sunday edition of the AZ Repulsive (Republic) this morning and this was in Cal Thomas's column. He invited readers to submit original limericks and these were a few of them. I especially liked the last one.

"This is from Jane Warken from someplace around here:
My 93-year-old Aunt Lil
Likes to keep her AC on chill.
She was cool through June
At her condo in Troon
But she died when she opened the bill.

This is from Kay Butler of Tempe.
Midwest kids love their firefly games.
They catch them and give them all names.
Out here in the West
We accept second best
Watching houseflies burst into flames.

This is from some guy named Mark.
It's true there are far fewer thugs
And a refreshing hiatus from bugs.
Dr. Phil, from my knees,
For the next three months please
Do not advocate warm, sweaty hugs.

And one last one from Wendy Clay of Phoenix.
Our state legislators get no vacation
Due to a lack of legislation.
As they fight more and more
Valley temperatures soar
From excessive hot air emanation."
