Effing Limerick Of The Week #30

There once was a gimmick whose time
Was spent writing posts done in rhyme,
Once it reached the “Brodeur”
The author did concur,
Said gimmick had just passed its prime.

And with this Effing Limerick, the weekly-ish series comes to a close. While the limerick itself is not past its prime, I have (as expected) run out of words that rhyme with each other. Thanks a lot, English language or limited knowledge thereof….

I will be putting together an e-book of Effing Limericks that will be able as a FREE download. It will be called “The First 3 Decades of Effing Limericks.” Watch for it on a website near this one!

But I’m not there. Why? Well, to be frank: I’m not ready to be there.
