Dragging yourself to the job
Is the reason why Mondays will rob
  You of spirit and drive
  Only weekends revive
Skip the weekdays and molt like a blob!

School will be getting out soon
And the kids will be home to cocoon
  On the couch for some weeks
  Watching sitcoms and freaks
And what's there in the fridge, they'll consume.

Well, it's "hump-day" and if you get through
The rest of this day, it's a coup
  With five o-clock near
  See the signs of good cheer
On the faces of co-workers, too.

As the clock ticks away up to five
And you face that long train trip or drive
  With your nerves wearing thin
  You get home to begin
Being Mom (or Dad) stuck in gear overdrive.

It's four o'clock Friday, yippee!
Sixty minutes and you will be free
  To cut grass till you faint
  Deal with fumes when you paint
Is your life song a little off-key?

It is Saturday, just lie in bed
If you must, say you're sick, go ahead!
  If you don't you might pop
  And that won't help a lot
Smell the roses before they are dead.

Sunday's the day to relax
Still, the amenity that it lacks
  Since it's backing up to
  Nasty Monday, so you
Learn to dread it as "anticlimax."

They say Kathleen writes these lighthearted poems in the wee hours—let us sidle closer and eavesdrop on the banter!

Is that Edward Lear - the father of limerick poems - in the corner over there? Why yes, it is, in a limerick contest with Kathleen, the barmaid. Kindly visit our Site Map for a complete index including many hard-to-find birthday years, Over the Hill verses, and holidays. You can also view limerick books by author Jeannette Ramirez.

Other themes include working from home, and Irish themes like Bloomsday and St. Patrick's Day. There's baseball by a guest author who wrote a book on the game, children's birthdays such as this page and even the odd political theme..

Of course, there's Mother's Day and Father's Day Poems, and a plethora on various professions and workplace humor. Two examples of which are accounting, and strangely enough, brain surgery.

As promised, with the addition of the 70th birthday page, Kathleen is coming closer and closer to that Holy Grail of a limerick for every year between 0 to 100. Here Be Limerick Poems is your source for the most inclusive birthday greetings for every unique age on the Web.

Visit the CafePress store at Here Be Limerick Poems or contact us. to match the verse you want to any of the products at the store.

Should you find your visit to the pub enjoyable, my book, Literati Limericks: Academic Arcana in Pithy Quips is now available to purchase here or at Amazon, has thirty-eight full color illustrations, and a mind-stretching pasttime for those moments when you find yourself in a queue and require a chuckle. Literati is described as "encyclopedic" by Marco Graziosi, PhD, Universita' Degli Studi Di Bologna, Italy. Molly is aghast at the amount of time which must be frittered in such lines, and appalled that those interstitial moments are so blithely squandered.

Can we show you to a booth? The pub has more than one hundred fifty "rooms," each with its own theme, including: frivolity, sentiment, enlightenment and even one with candle light for romance. One may hear the din of hammers and saws after closing hours as building continues.

Here at the pub, we maintain a family environment, and endeavor to keep our rooms clean—very nearly antiseptic, in fact—so the children will not pick up germs or other regrettable attributes. Perhaps some very funny poems may serve for a wedding toast? Mayhaps scribbled inside a greeting card? Our Molly is sometimes a romantic, and invites you to browse our About Us page to view the book, Keepsake Book of Love and Marriage .
