Hindsight
Hank was a maker of stilts
and sold stunning quilts.
Trade was a success
but caused folks duress
when workers on stilts wore kilts.

Shine and Twinkle
An aspiring actor named Max Finkel
Felt that his star would soon shine and twinkle ~
He just needed one small part
That would provide him a start ~
Played a 'Hobo:' Max tinkled and stinkled

Way To Success God Had Shone
Way To Success God Had Shone
Instead of being bare to the bone,
And also by myself and left alone;
Bothered being;
Not worth seeing;
Wish way to success God had shone.

Girl From Nantucket
I once knew a girl from Nantucket
Who chased down a goose, just to pluck it
As she ran, took a spill
So he gave her a quill
And I guess we all know, where he stuck it
Just not clean enough for contests---lol

Steph Curry
Steph Curry is taking hoops to a whole new level,
Say the rabid Oaktown fans as they revel.
The way he throws it in the hole
from downtown off a pick and roll
Makes me wonder if he's signed on with the Devil...

Slow Golf
Golfers ahead were really slow
because their dead balls just wouldn't go
we offered them beer,
later we found cheer--
they stepped aside to let it outflow.

Young Poet Ben
There was a young poet named Ben
Whose poetry never did win,
Then his talent, I’m told,
Began to take hold,
Now Ben’s awards never end.

How Young People Can Get Ahead
School work leads to thrilling careers
Say hooray hip hip--give three cheers!

Brings success just until
The bill for the loan's in arrears!

Final Instalment ,A Hypothesis
Once there was a teacher by name Jenish Anthony "the Holy"
represented success by the simple equation “E=C2” coolly
“E” success in any endeavor of value
“C” uncompromising pursuit of a value
Bloody this hypothesis of Jenish"the great teacher" is no folly!

Light a Candle
light a candle
let it glow with hope
let its thin film of smoke
disperse the dark clouds
let it drizzle and frizzle out your stress,
let it wash off the stench of sweat
let your pregnant hope
deliver twins and triplets;
multiple tales of success.

There once was a dog,
who started a blog,
he reported the news,
with barking reviews,
then toasted success with egg nog.

Sketching Famous People
Think I'll get back to sketching famous people
When they autograph my drawings it's a really big deal
My success rate's way up there
Much more than my share
Twelve hundred last time, that was totally surreal

Quitters Never Win
On the football field young Davy hurt his knee
Lots of excruciating pain, yes-sir-ee,
He is never a quitter
Says he is never fitter
Continuing playing to win is the key.

My Impish Mind
Limericks by definition are supposed to be naughty
But I'll try to be more sophisticated and not so bawdy
Not promising success
An impish mind I possess
Have a feeling they'll still be more than a wee bit saucy

Dressed For Success!
...for Juvie's 'moose'
Her moose is loose and wanderin',
her peace of mind he's squanderin',
if he don't get back here
sometime later this year,
she'll just hafta do her own launderin'!

Different Stages of Undress
Can always guarantee myself success
Just write about different stages of undress
The female form's a delight
My naughty passions ignite
But in public these feelings I must suppress

Learning
There was a student who wanted to be smart
He cherished learning and studied hard
He worked seriously on his own
And success was his only hope
He realized he couldn't without his phone be smart.

Short Measure
A leprechaun fond of his sport
Took heed of each skill he was taught,
But hard as he tried
Success was denied
He'd always end up falling short!

There is a way to succeed
If simple instructions you heed.
Don’t ever time squander,
From right paths don’t wander,
And never be caught up in greed!

Ooooh That Hair Power
The real blond effect I have seen
It's something--that goldilocks sheen!
Her stunning success
I would like to possess
And my hair's dyed with envy green!

Free-Range Limericks
A farmer who was looking for change
Produced limericks that were free-range
He achieved great success
His limericks were best
And gluten-free -isn't that strange?

Boy From Troy
Boy From Troy
There once was a boy from Troy
That Unisys would not employ
He said he really didn't care
he'd find work elsewhere
Now he's working for Henkels and McCoy
