Ah, the sublime limerick poem! Edward expresses some trepidation at offering these scraps of doggerel, lamely admitting that the limericks are not haute culture. These regard the various professions and occupations, associates with whom he must alternate on those days when he is not in the pub (admittedly, those are few).
Here you will find amusement for art teachers, dentists, priests, pastors, chaplains, ministers, work at home moms (WAHMs), jurors, judges, tax accountants, Lawyers, and by and by, whatever work place humor the patrons of Molly's Virtual Pub require. These pages for professions is usually built upon request by patrons. The limerick poem is particularly adept at skewering bosses.
Kathleen, however, by nature and temperament quite irreverent, saw no harm in a bit of amusement at their expense, pointing out that all groups were evenhandedly lambasted. Possibly more limerick poems will follow, should the general public suggest that this vocation or that avocation should be properly included.
Speaking of which, how about those of a rocket scientist or even a brain surgeon?
Science teachers have budget rates scaler
Yours the dinghy; their funding, the whaler.
For you who teach art
Are pushing a cart
Or you're the one stuck in the trailer.
If you're not brushing well, there's the threat
A cavity starts, and more yet,
If you don't care a fig
That hole will get big,
And a root canal is what you'll get.
And after destroying that nerve
There's the function you'll want to preserve.
Then he'll say with a frown
That the tooth needs a crown
Which is nothing less than you deserve.
"I see that you're partial to coffee
Or is it red wine that you quaff? We
Can fix that with bleach
And bright lights that leach
The stains that are not coming off, see?"
"You're not flossing well, I think. Please
See this surgeon for his expertise.
Some chronic detritus
Has caused gingivitis,
A periodontal disease.
“Don't eat sweets, brush your teeth, and floss more.”
All behaviors that dentists adore.
If we did what they say
Would we need them? No way!
Makes you wonder what dentists are for?
The jury said exoneration
Though judges said “incarceration.”
This celebrity crook
Then ghost wrote a book
As a fictional pasteurization.
The mistake was an estate intestate
His property shunted to probate.
His will he had hid
For he favored his Id
Giving stocks, house, and cars to his playmate.
