PET PEEVE
“Master says that my weight is too low,
That he wants me to eat more and grow,
Be at least twice this size,
But that gleam in his eyes
Looks a little suspicious,” growled Bo.

BEST OF SHOWS
Barry tunes in TV every night:
Rin Tin Tin, Scooby-Doo his delight.
Then there’s Benji and Lassie,
Augie Doggie and Daddy –
How they work up that man’s appetite!

CAVE CANEM
All the diplomats gathering, greeting,
And locating their specified seating.
In their midst, a big grinner,
The man hosting their dinner.
Only he really knows what they’re eating.

CHOW TIME
At the Kmart, the president got
A new 16-quart stainless steel pot;
He’d been getting much thinner,
So he had friends for dinner:
Rex, King, Rover, Spike, Fido and Spot.

Last week’s limerick:

BUILD-A-BARRY
Though I have ugly feelings about him
And consistently set out to flout him,
I still have to admit
He has sharpened my wit
And I can’t write this limerick without him.

BULLIES
In the 50s our fathers knew best,
But back then they could scarcely have guessed
That a mere three percent
Who are sexually bent
Would intimidate all of the rest.

Last week’s limerick:

WIFE SENTENCE
As evolving positions now gel,
He pronounces this travesty swell,
But you might change your view
About “gay marriage,” too,
If you’d married a mate like Michelle.

Maybe Obama just thought he was eating dog? It could happen, as the Three Stooges demonstrate in the above excerpt from one of their more educational films.

I’ve never had dog myself, as far as I know, but wouldn’t hesitate to try it in a pinch. Just about anything tastes good fried or in a gumbo. I do draw the line at monkey brains, however, and McRibs.

RANDALL ROBINSON
You might meet him for pastries and punch,
But I have the most harrowing hunch
That you’d better decline
When he utters this line:
“I am eager to have you for lunch.”
(2005)

PRESERVATION CAJUN-STYLE
Save the salmon and save the seal,
Save the gator and save the eel,
The dolphin, the whale,
The mussel, the snail:
Save them all for my next meal.
(2001)

Last week’s limerick:

IRONIC CURTAIN
You’re not really “transparent” at all:
When you’re asked for your records, you stall;
You keep everything hidden,
Public access forbidden.
Mr. President, tear down this wall!
