Oh those coyotes! And the dogs, harnessed to humans. How delightful.
Nothing wrong with limericks if done with aplomb. Especially impressed by your two rhymes for Vancouver. (Mind you, Toronto rhymes with wanna and gonna in the local accent. Unsure about St Zotique or St Telesphore, though.)
Recent advances in neurology and genetics have revealed that around the same time that Homo Sapiens domesticated dogs (hogs, cows, chicken and horses), cats domesticated Homo Sapiens.
I awoke from a worrisome slumber a half hour before the alarm on my phone went off and sitting up in bed with my feet already on the floor, I read this by the light of my phone alone even before I read my Bible. I can't say why, but it gave me hope. You gave me hope. Thank you . . . grrr, rrrfff.
Then I got up and peed a little bit on the bathroom floor.
The wife puts the Bible in hand, you drible on the floor, she puts the lid down, you leave it up, she snatches the pretzels and beer from you, you hug her in the middle of the cold night, she awakes in the morning with softened edges...the working of a divine plan, I suppose.
This comment is a tangent on drinking varnish remover. Anybody ever had black walnut wine? Tastes like what I would imagine varnish remover would taste like.
Sorry, there are no good or bad limericks Only memorable limericks. The only limerick I know, and remember, was written on a (public toilet) wall circa 1949. And goes: "There once was a young couple named Kelly. Who were found stuck belly to belly. In their sexual haste, they used library paste. Instead of petroleum jelly." BTW, enjoyed the Sacto show, third row, 'Our Lady...' shirt. However, remembering lyrics of long-ago is quite taxing. Oops...there might be a limerick in that. PAX VOBISCUM don anderson, Folsom
Romulous and Remus were raised by wolves and later founded Rome. The limerick about the lady who drank varnish remover was amusing, but I think the coyotes must be a little disappointed.

I thought it was strange that my husband pronounced "Toronto" as "Tranna". Now I understand!

Stealing that last line, “…you hug her..she awakes ..softened edges.”
see you at the next HUMANs therapy session .

Haven’t had that, but I *have* had grappa, the flavor of which some longago wag described perfectly to me as “raisins soaked in turpentine.”
The old blues line goes "Going where the water tastes like wine, this Missouri water tastes like tturpentine."
Nope, not going to buy it. I am a woman. Also, I don’t believe the coyote story.
Enjoyed this after getting on-line after a power outage. Thanks!
Good one, Mowgli, er, GK.

You were especially fanciful today. It was a real treat. Keep it up!
Your most delightful and funny column of the year! Thanks!
Where the heck is the audio of that Garrison Keillor Voice ❓😢
