On the way to the train station this morning, at the start of my 1.5 hour commute, I heard a radio spot promoting a trip to Limerick, Ireland. It inspired me to write a limerick of my own. Actually it’s part limerick, and part rant, so I’m calling it a “limerant”:
There once was a man from Scotch Plains,
Whose life was dictated by trains,
Surrounded by clueless, and loud cell-phone talkers,
Stinkers, and seat hogs, and back-of-seat knockers,
He dreamed he could beat them with chains.
