Limerick about the absurdities of life

There once was a man quite absurd Whose life was just so absurd. He went to the store But then couldn't find the door And ended up just talking to a bird

His job was quite peculiar too. He had to count each drop of dew, But when it rained all day He just sat there and lay And his boss didn't know what to do

He tried to find love in his life .But things just didn't go right .He met a girl with one leg, But then she lost her peg And he just couldn't deal with the sight

He tried to get rich with a scheme. But it turned out to be just a dream .He sold rocks as art. But nobody played a part And he was left with nothing but steam

He went on a trip to the zoo And saw a giraffe that was blue .He thought it was strange .But then it started to change And turned into a pink kangaroo

He thought that he'd gone insane And needed to use his brain. But then he saw a clown Who was dressed like a crown And he realized life was just a game

He decided to embrace the absurd And just live life like a bird. He did what he pleased. And did as he teased And felt happier than he ever heard

A man with no shoes Who complained about having the blues. He said, "Life is absurd Without my footwear I've got nothing left to lose!"

But his friend said, "Now hold on a minute, Your problems are small, not infinite There are folks in this world Who are truly unfurled With hardships that make yours look miniature."

The man with no shoes was humbled .His friend's words had made him crumble He saw the absurdity Of his own vanity And realized his complaint was just a grumble.

Life can be strange and absurd Full of twists and turns that we've heard We all have our woes And our highs and our lows But it's how we respond that's the word.

We can whine and we can complain About the hardships and the pain .But in the grand scheme It all seems like a dream .And soon enough it will all wane.

So let's laugh at the absurdity Of the things we can't control with certainty. We'll find some humor In the daily rumor And embrace life with sincerity.

For even when things seem bleak There's always a reason to seek The silver lining And keep on climbing Until we reach the mountain's peak.

So let's toast to the absurdities of life To the moments of joy and strife. For they make us who we are And take us near and far In this journey that's full of surprise.

Life can be so absurd, It often leaves us perturbed, We strive for success, But end up in distress, Wondering why we even bothered.

We work hard to pay the bills, But the cost of living gives us chills, We try to save money, But it's never quite sunny, And we can't seem to break free from our frills.

We search for love and companionship, But sometimes it feels like a sinking ship, We navigate the dating scene, But it's not always what it seems, And we end up feeling like a total blip.

We try to be healthy and fit, But our bodies just don't seem to commit, We exercise and eat right, But it's never quite in sight, And we wonder if we'll ever really benefit.

Life can be a crazy ride, Full of ups and downs we cannot hide, We laugh and we cry, And sometimes we want to fly, But in the end, we just have to enjoy the absurdity inside.

Conclusion : So if you're feeling quite absurd And life just seems like a blur, Embrace the unknown And don't feel alone And life will become a grandeur.
