No, no! That's the clutch, not the brake!
And slow down, for my blood pressure's sake!
I'm supposed to stay cool
but each blithering fool
makes me tremble and quiver and shake!

My tenants are really quite quiet,
For peace is their permanent diet.
No parties or raves
To disturb or make waves -
I rarely encounter a riot.

Low budgets give cause,
For each slowdown and pause-
Ack! I think we've more potholes than pavement!

And all are quite self willed wee things.
They plink and they plonk
Till I'd happily bonk
The lot of them into the wings.

The kids all came out and stood
Yelling, "ICE CREAM!"
It was a dream
Mid-winter - now that would be good.

And we really do work for our fee.

oops! "Pondering" is my sig, I forgot to put a new profession.
But your limerick on it is great, jacobsen!

Then, perhaps still in the mindset of the haiku thread where you suggested "Hot chocolate," you suggest "morning coffee," which isn't a profession--but that's my fault for not keeping the rhythm going.

Can I change it to "morning coffee seller" ?


I warm up your hands and your gut
with my brew, which is wonderful; but
with some sugar and milk
there is nowt of its ilk
to jolt you right out of your rut.

I couldn't help it - here's a two-for-one, with only a little overlapping material:

It's the new definition of "bored"
As I scan, search and fondle this hoard
Keep your needles in haystacks*
And not in your butt cracks
And our safety will be assured.

Because of that Bin Laden bloke,
I scan, search, fondle, and poke
Your grandmas and mothers,
And so many others
That are non-threats - boy, what a joke!

I keep the stern face of a broker
So people will know I'm no joker.
With demeanour hard
I make my discard,
But should mention, we're playing strip poker.

I see life at a bitter extreme;
gamblers will not relinquish the dream.
Two good dice, one bad card--
fortunes made, or lives marred;
yet I stay on the casino's team.

I weave through the traffic so fast
That people stare after, aghast
For speed makes me quiver
With pleasure, and shiver,
For fear that my luck cannot last.

I'm ready to hand out some cash
But people prefer to dash
To the hole in the wall
It's so impersonawl
Come inside, let me handle your stash

I do it, but what does it mean?
I search for a meaning on screen,
Though I look around,
No answer is found,
So really, how can I be keen?

What does it mean? One whose professional time is spent doing sigmoidoscopies. Back to the cross channel ferry pilot ...
