Rejecting One’s Reality – by Dennis Lange

Rejecting One’s Reality – Bruce Jenner, Rachel Dolezal, etal.

These poems that you’ve written are classic.
The world has gone mad and you’ve shown just how bad.
But they’ll think we’re dinos – Jurassic.

The above was written about a series of limericks (6) that were written by Dennis O’Brien, an Australian poet.  Here’s one as a sample, followed by a link that will take you to the rest:

Trans-Pygmy

I’m tall and I’m white and I’m thin,
But I have a dark secret within:
For I am a pygmy –
(My white friends don’t dig me)
Small black jungle folk are my kin.

An Aussie Lexus Driving Lesson by Dennis O’Brien

Fellow poet Dennis O’Brien (an Australian)
read one of my poems and left a related one
in the comments:

I’m glad I’m not driving through Texas
In a silver and shiny new Lexus,
…For I know if I tried
…I’d drive on the wrong side,
So that ocean between us protects us.

A Limerick Hat Trick by Lange & O’Brien

I posted this limerick yesterday:

I’m thinking it must be dimmer trick
To post here a little limerick
Than nothing at all;
For, readers might bawl.
Here’s hoping it’s not made you grim or sick.

————————————-

Dennis N. O’Brien (of http://dnobrienpoetry.wordpress.com/ ) commented:

While my knowledge of limericks is slim
I’m prepared to go out on a limb
Though a whimsical post
It is better than most
And is neither distressing nor grim.

————————————-

And my glad response is:

I heard from O’Brien of Australia
‘Bout limerick I wrote to regale ya.
I couldn’t tell,
But he said it was swell.
It’s readers like him who ne’er fail ya.
