Here’s the weekend edition of “You Finish the Limerick”:
I’d like to travel afar
By plane or by boat or by car
And it’s not too strange, is it?
That the place I’d most like to visit…
(Add last line here.)

Are reading TUF and having a ball.
They’re yelling all over town,
“I can’t put this book down!”
(That flypaper cover was the right call.)

Whose intellectual standards are reasonably high.
When rolling the dice
Don’t make the same mistake twice,
Remember: Once Palin, twice shy.

As one product ends another begins.
Its wine department is new,
Its adoption agency is too,
But the catch is you have to take twins.

With the tattoo “MOTHER” across biceps so strong.
As his parent and teacher, 
She’d been a mean, petty creature,
Always scrawling her name where it didn’t belong.

For his African visit, it was reported,
But according to Trump,

Was actually being deported.

I look at my watch and it’s noon.
I have to get moving real soon.
No time to delay
For today is the day…

My books were out there for all the judges’ eyes.
So now Hemingway up in heaven drinks for me,
Steinbeck says, “Well, that sure stinks” for me,
And Faulkner just stands in the corner and cries.
