Anyway, here’s collection of some of my original based on television shows, movies, and tropes. Doggerel?  Absolutely. Funny?  You be the judge.

LJ Entry – “Breast Reduction Limerick”

One of my besties, M, had breast reduction surgery to reduce down from size G to a  more manageable C.  Well, it was time to send her flowers, since she lives in San Antonio TX and I live on the East Coast.  Several of us got together to send flowers, but I decided to personalize with a Shukmeister original limerick.  It just about took the entire character limit, but everyone agreed it was unique and funny:

LJ Entry – “Wedding Poem”

Several months ago, I was asked to create a poem for a coworker’s daughter’s wedding.  I asked for details: how they met, colors of the wedding, etc. etc., and came up with this free-form verse.  He’s a police officer; she’s a graphic designer, and they met at the Greenbrier United Methodist Church.
