by Katie Dohman on May 12th, 2009

It’s National Limerick Day!

Wheeeee!

In honor of this auspicious occasion, here are a few of our staff’s limerick attempts.

Limericks About Brain Traffic

At Brain Traffic we care about content
When it’s bad, we so often lament
If you let us write
Like a thief in the night
We’ll rock it and you’ll say we’re god-sent. – Meghan Casey

Oh crap. Our content is a mess!
It’s causing us pain, strife, and stress
If our content is shabby
Our boss will be crabby
It’s time to call BT, oh yes.  – Melissa Rach


We bought ourselves just one more whiteboard
For our schemas and plans to record
I left a quick note
My ideas to promote
But as usual, I was ignored. -Kristina Halvorson

There once was a lass called Kristin-er
At conferences, you might have seen her
Now she’s on the hook
To write a big book
And, after that she should take a breather. – Melissa Rach

Here’s what a good schedule can do
It should stick to your project like glue
So when things might fall apart
Don’t take it to heart
Just point and say, “Hey, buddy: It’s Due!" - Angie (1.0) Halama

A Brain Traffic web writer
Is a trained word and grammar fighter
Who defends user needs
Until her pencil bleeds
On a quest to make the internets brighter. - Angie (2.0) King

Control + Alt + Delete
Boy, you sure are neat
You lock my machine
So my Microsoft screen goes aquamarine
Which prohibits my crafty co-workers from hijacking my machine to send a prank email or tweet. - Julie Vollenweider

Limerick-Off

Elizabeth is a girl I know
She has black hair like a crow
She’s fun to tease
And when I please
I respond to her stories with, “So.” - Meghan Casey

Meghan is a white devil lady
Her stories are always very shady
She swears like a man
And smells like fake tan
And one day I’m going to put hot pizza in her shoes so it burns her feet off. - Elizabeth Saloka

Bonus Limerick!

I dated a girl in high school
Sometimes I thought she was cruel.
She’d put up a fight
At the end of the night
She wasn’t from Nantucket, I’ll tell you that.Josh Foldy

    This one's for the boss-lady:

    There once was a content strategist
    (or: a copywriter with a twist)
    who claimed to be busy
    working herself dizzy
    and caused many free drinks to be missed

    Cheers,

    ak

    As usual I am late to the game
    My limerick won't cause me great fame.
    The fact that that it's lame and really quite tame
    some would say does not add up to my name.

    You should each get a great big gold star
    For a limerick well above par
    But MR wins the game
    (To her coworkers' shame)
    'Cause her meter's the most reg-u-LAR.
