This Week in Limerick!

Ms. Winehouse went home with five Grams
Not drugs, silly! Awards for her jams!
Kanye West wore blue light
Herbie Hancock did alright
But ratings showed no one gave damns

There’s a falling satellite on the way
That malfunctioned, like, on its first day
It may hold toxic fuel
Or a classified tool
So the Navy will blow it up. Yay!

“Icebox of the Nation” ‘s the claim
International Falls won the game
That town in Minnesota
Doesn’t care one iota
That Frasier, CO wants the name

Has Mike Huckabee gone insane?
Talk about a faith-based campaign!
You’ve made your skid mark
Now go back to the Ark.
And watch a Dem slaughter McCain

JOKE MARRIAGE IS ANNULED.
Harvard Sophomore and Girl Who Exchanged Names Regretted Prank.
BOSTON — In the divorce court to-day Judge Fessenden annulled the “joke” marriage of Miss Helen V. Cadwell of Cambridge and Edwin King Adams, formerly a Harvard sophomore and son of a wealthy Philadelphia lawyer, which had been arranged as a Hallowe’en prank. Both testified in court that it was “really no love affair,” and that “neither realized the seriousness of the affair.”


One clue whose answer consists of two rhyming words:

If you’re gonna dump this guy, you need to look good doing it. Really make him regret losing you. Try some blush, eyeliner, lipstick, you know, some…

Highlight here for answer: [breakup makeup]

Abstract



Mental illness is not the price people pay for their creative gifts… creative people who are mentally ill find themselves, almost by default, in the arts rather than in business or the other sciences.
Dr. Arnold M. Ludwig
