/// He was painted for free, a good “score,”
but a factor you ought not ignore
is Niels Høyen’s great greed
for cash kickbacks. Indeed,
now his left hand is reaching for more. (2022)
/// I can’t listen to Niels any more!
He’ll drone on and I’m liable to snore.
Teaching “Physics” or “Art,”
dull and dry from the start.
There’s a reason they call him Niels “Bore.” (2022)
Disclaimers: The real life subject of this portrait was The Art Historian N. L. Høyen. Any derogatory remarks, (or implications that this Niels taught Physics), were attempts at humor. Similarly, the two other limericks I wrote in 2022 were inspired by the fact that the light and shadows make his hair appear white on the left side and black on the right.
/// His name’s Callous DeVil, and he’ll nab every matching pup pelt he can grab. On his wife was displayed the first Poodle Skirt made, and his black lab coat’s made of Black Lab.
/// You may think skinning dogs isn’t right.
The DeVil family’s not that uptight.
Many people wear fur;
puppy’s what they prefer.
Like their hair, it’s not all black and white. (2022)
/// Could the reason you’d boycott a suit
made from dog fur be “puppies are cute”?
Minks and foxes are, too.
(Check ‘em out in a zoo.)
So, unless you’re a vegan, stay mute. (2022)

Told male patients “Take everything off.”
With his left hand held steady,
he is getting it ready.
