I had to share these…
Limerick Ink (Limerick-Off Monday) of MAD KANE’S HUMOR BLOG which I have posted here on Tuesday NOW WEDNESDAY (but on her site on Sunday – so go figure) challenges readers to write, obviously: LIMERICKS!
This week’s suggested first lines have to do with RED INK!
Here, reposted with permission from the authors, are three of my favorites:

I’m changing my name to “Will, Inc.”
As a corporate person, I think
I can do as I please:
Pay no taxes or fees,
And take dumps in the water you drink.

DO TELL, MR. BOEHNER
The octopus uses its ink;
The skunk, its incredible stink.
But when *I’m* threatened, I
Soil my trousers and cry –
And it works twice as well as you’d think.

A limerick written in ink
Requires the writer to think.
If instead, he just scribbles
There’s bound to be quibbles:
Both meter and rhyming will stink.
Fred has also asked that, in addition to the link above his limerick, you also visit his “booksby” page (http://www.fredbortz.com/booksby.htm).

This is a whole different thing to me! I find them amusing, but never wrote one.
You ought to try. They are fun and a little challenging… Randy
