Embracing Life's Absurdities: Limericks to Lighten the Mood
A Collection of Witty Limericks to Remind Us to Laugh at Life's Curveballs
In life, we often make plans,
But things don't always go as we scan,
We'll take a wrong turn,
And then start to yearn,
For the days when our life was less wacky and grand!

sometimes, i need help
friends sometimes receive calls from me wherein i profess in a bewildered voice, that i have hit a snag in my day. i rarely see it coming. i feel defeated to admit out loud that i’ve spent upwards of an hour (so far) tearing through my belongings to no avail. i am helpless - too tired to continue, but too obsessed to stop on my own. "help me, please." their reaction is always kind, and calm - they meet me with a tone akin to how one might respond to a woman who’s just called to say she’s in labor. no human power can stop what is happening, and everyone knows it. they try to keep me calm and perhaps distract me, but in truth we are all so helpless. the distance doesn’t even matter - i wouldn’t let anyone near me like this anyway. can i go for a walk? am i breathing? can i do something creative with my hands? they ask, but they know the answer.
