I don't know if limericks are passe or not, but then again I really don't care. I wrote mine about HIGH SCHOOL.

I thought about high school today
what it took to make the grade.
Well things sure have changed
since school bells last clanged
and forced ME to sit well behaved

They cut the budget to start,
cut Music, Dance and then Art.
Home Ec got the chop,
they even cut Shop!
Saved cash, but are the kids smart?

High school is college prep now
You need ivy-league know how.
Just look at me
(a college degree)
but can't get a job in this town.
