The Limerick

I learned how to write a limerick last class, and I really enjoyed it.
Here is one I made:

We all have to hop on zoom
We wish we were just in the room
School is winding down
Yet nobody wears a frown
We hope this isn't our doom

Her are some of my favorites I found online:

There was a small boy from Quebec
Who was buried in snow to his neck
When they said, 'Are you friz?'
He Replied, 'Yes, I is-
But we don't call this cold in Quebec

God's plan made a hopeful beginning
But man Spoiled his chances by sinning
We trust that the story
Will end in God's glory
But at present the other side's winning

I found these entertaining, and I have even found myself looking for limericks in songs that I listen to. This was a fun activity and it was even cool to use the zoom capabilities to break off into small groups.

    I agree - I really enjoyed the limerick activity. I think poetry is really cool, and I wish we practiced it more in school. Anyway, I really thought that last limerick you found was thought-provoking, although I know it was obviously meant to be entertaining/funny. Would love to analyze it sometime!

The Butt Slide

The last couple of years, my buddies and I have been doing a ski trip in Beaver Creek, Colorado during winter break. My buddies come from all around the country and we stay just about a week on the mountain. One of my close friends from home has a house in Beaver Creek and he is extremely generous to let all of us come out and trash his house for a week. We have a great time on the mountain and apres ski, but that's beside the point of this blog. Anyway, all of my buddies ski at different levels. Some of my buddies are better than others. You would think that my buddies from Texas would be the worst skiers. This was not the case the first year we were there. One of my friends, Steve, was actually from Colorado just like I am, and he is the focus of this blog. We realized after the first green, groomed run Steve was a little further back than the rest of the group. He had only skied once in his life, and he had fallen a good twenty times before we even got down the first run. Once...

5 Best Comedies

The five best comedy movies in my opinion are as follows: Caddyshack, Anchorman, Step Brothers, Tommy Boy, and the Pink Panther with Steve Martin. These five are not in any particular order, and I feel I might be missing one obvious one. In any case, I have laughed the most while watching these movies.

Don't be friends with Chiefs fans

Recently, I learned that I am friends with way too many Chiefs fans. The Chiefs mighty be a great team that just won the Super Bowl, but as I like to remind my friends, it has not always been this way. During the 2000's, the Chiefs could not even make a playoff spot or even hold a winning record. This all changed two years ago when the Chiefs starting quarterback, Alex Smith, was traded to the Redskins. The trade allowed Patrick Mahomes to step in and take the starting spot. The city of Kansas City and Chiefs fans around the world think that Mahomes is the chosen one. As great as he is, Mahomes is a big reason why KC fans have been getting on my nerves recently. For example, Mahomes makes some spectacular plays, but Chiefs fans don't shut up about these plays for a good week. I'm a Packers fan, and we obviously have a great quarterback named Aaron Rodgers. Is he the greatest of all time? Probably, but that's beside the point. I can admit that Mahomes is a great player, ...
