Hey Team,
In honor of my one hundredth day amtrekking I composed a few haikus in and effort to expose my soul to the world.
Now I’m knee deep in my TWO HUNDREDTH day. So enjoy the limericks.
There was a homeless dude named Brett
He took all the adventure he could get
He’s just a young buck
Who gets by on his luck
Let’s just hope he can pay off the debt
He’s just some guy with a list
Who knew his job wouldn’t be missed
So with Charley in tow
He put on a show
But if he’s not done by July he’ll be pissed
He has no sense of direction
No weapons for protection
A hatred of the cold
He’s brave and he’s bold
…and kind of an idiot
Um…limericks might be a little bit harder than haikus. Here’s the format I was told. Lines 1, 2, and 5 of Limericks have seven to ten syllables and rhyme with one another. Lines 3 and 4 of Limericks have five to seven syllables and also rhyme with each other.
Let’s see what you’ve got. Impress me with your 200th day limericks people.
And thanks AGAIN for keeping me company on this epic mission, team!
I’m done.
Brett.
If you like the poetry then it wouldn’t hurt to…
Don’t let me stop you.
Brett is a logical guy
He has a list you can pry
Some things to be done
Some things will be fun
And others require retry.
***
My friend appears a boy-wonder
He wishes to seek all but blunder
A mishap arrives
But not in my eyes
He finds a way before we sunder
***
Creative writing has
never been my strong suit,
so- yeah…..
that’s the best you’re
going to get out of me.

Brett is a guy with a hat
his laptop is getting pretty fat
but not like the grace
that is George Pechmann’s face
I guess we should both try a diet.

Nice job fat-face.
Only two takers?! Lazy people.

On a vacation of destined elation
where his home is no single location
he dons a faded green hat
and a wallet gone flat
so you should probably make a donation
*****************************
Theres a wanderlust man with a pack
of electronic stuff on his back
on a trip far from home
he just says “when in rome”
hoping he’ll find a bed and a snack
****************************
On a journey with travel by train
he fights through the cold and the rain
sometimes covered in dirts
cause he has just 2 shirts
and you’ll still never hear him complain

Holy crap! Here’s a complaint for you: How come every time I write a poem I get blown out of the FREAKIN water buy one of you people!
Nice job, Team!
ilott…wow.

aaron is very verbose,
from his head to the tip of his toes,
he spends every day,
reading the dictionary for pay,
no wonder he looks so morose!
***********************************
There once was a man from NorCal,
Who considered stragers his pals,
so he left his job and his home,
now the country he roams,
and serves to inspire us all!

Lewinsky and Clinton have shown
What Kazinsky must surely have known
That an intern is better
Than a bomb in a letter
Given the choice of how to be blown.
