Limerick, limerick you so funny,
How come you not make me money?
Don't be funny slob.
Find yourself a job,
And we'll be rolling in money, honey!
(I have been paid to write and perform comedy --- just not very often... not Nearly often Enough, in fact(!) )
I feel humbled to be amongst some of the great poets...
And Sharon, there's no need to feel "humbled" -- sure, it's natural to be dazzled in the presence of a latter day Shakespeare, but I don't ever make a big deal about it... and I've always been kind to the "little people," because without my audience, how could I have become a star in the first place? And when people compare me to Byron and Shelley, I always demur. Then, of course, I add: "And Don't call me Shelley!"
I've been asked to write and perform,
On Chess.com 'tis my norm.
I'll send in a bill,
So pay if you will,
Hope I go down a storm.
Take a bow Kaynight...
Encore, encore...

I wish I'd had a mother-in-law like you
I wish I'd had whoever instead of mine...

It's not too late -- my son's single! So ... welcome to the family! :-D
I'm just checking out the going rate for my left kidney on ebay...I need to get me over to the USA for my arranged marriage...is Easter good for you Motherinlaw?!
Great!! I'll get right on it, by telling my son all about you. He doesn't live here in Georgia, so the two of you will have to meet somewhere else, get to know each other, and finish planning the wedding by the end of March, but I think that gives you kids plenty of time.
(And don't worry -- I Won't mention your "missing kidney." That's something for the two of you to discuss in private -- I don't like to interfere in my son's life.)
So, it's settled then -- see you in April!
I've been round to tell my parents and they looked a little overwhelmed...or was it relieved, I can never tell. Anyway, I hope you're son likes what he hears about me, is there any chance you could let me know where abouts he lives or have I just got to find him? I love a challenge!
And btw where the hell's cabby?
If you smell menthol and beer, don't turn around.
Congratulations, ladies!! 
Woohoooooo!
First comes marriage. Then comes love. Then comes the baby in the baby carriage!
Wish you didn't have to sell a kidney to get across the pond, hun °_°

Thanks Earnest you sweety, I did a bit of negotiating and managed to get the deal down to my appendix and gall bladder...they were Irish buyers!

If you got someone to pay you for your Appendix, you must be a Heck of a business woman/sweet-talker/sales person/conwoman!! Now I'm wondering if you might not be way too "worldy" and "sharp" for my dear, sweet, innocent boy ... you must know how naiive and trusting men in their '40's can be. I may have to finally have that "talk" with him about women ... and their "ways."
"Seeking Mother-in-Law" said the ad ---
"Know a good one? I'll marry her lad --
I'll sell kidneys(!) and bladders(!)
To me, all that matters
Is finding a Son-of-a-Maw!"
Nooooooo! 
Oh, noooooo!!
Not thaaaatt!!
Wow ! Thanks for all of these new posts in recent days.
I came across a cute item from John Greier: " You're only young once, but you can be immature forever. "
PS: This truly seems to apply to me ( rofl ).

Glad to hear that Cabadenwurt and good to see you
Dear Cabby,
I'm afraid I need to apologize to you for something I posted here while you were gone. It was an apparently really bad limerick (#1274). (I'm not sure we should call it "bad," since it actually got "mixed reviews," ranging all the way from "Nooooo!" to "Not thaaatt!!")
However, the truth is the limerick wasn't really my fault, because SharonCarter started it, and she kept encouraging me to say sillier and sillier things, and I can't speak for her motives here, but it's pretty clear that She's the one who Should be given a "Time Out," and Not Me!
I appreciate your listening to my side of the story. And now, since I know you to be a fair man, I'm sure you'll do the right thing.
Thank You for Your Kind Attention to this Matter,
motherinlaw, P.U.L. (Professional Unlicensed Limericist)
