Note: I am indebted to ChicagoNow blogger Margaret Laing (a.k.a. Margaret Serious) whose post ”This place is a zoo’ is a compliment not an insult” was the genesis of the following verse.
Some people who don’t have a clue
Might utter “This place is a zoo:”
Although chaos, there’s more
On a stock exchange floor
Where are animals like me and you.
I'm Jerry Partacz, happily married to my wife Julie for over 40 years. I have four children and eleven grandchildren. I'm enjoying retirement after 38 years of teaching. I now have an opportunity to share my thoughts on many things. I'm an incurable optimist. I also love to solve crossword puzzles and to write light verse. I love to read, to garden, to play the piano, to collect stamps and coins, and to watch "Curb Your Enthusiasm".

You have given us commentary twice
In limerick, which we agree can be nice.
But rhyming and poetry and all of those
Are pretty hard for us who talk in prose.
Still, we cheer your search for a new device.
First of all, thanks, jnorto, for your very creative critique. What can I say in defense? Only that sometimes light verse seems to be the way to go. Keep cheerin'.
Well done, my friend. How nice to know I can inspire poetry.
