Three Limericks

Emergence of an Epidemic

There was a picture of a pin up girl

Set the world ablaze in a war-torn world

With a tiny waist

And a painted face

She taunted all with her shiny, blonde curls


Apostrophe to an Icon

Marilyn, Marilyn what do I lack ?

What can I change to make this man come back ?

Do I get thinner?

Starve this poor sinner?

But Marilyn, Marilyn I like snacks


Pointless Partiality  

In a way, I have it better than whites

Their preferences seem to change over night

I think it so strange

That our standards remain

As they were when Sir Mix-A-Lot was tight
