UD DOES A HIGGLEDY-PIGGLEDY

Higgledy piggledy
Gloria Bachmann
When asked why she ghosted
Said “Shaddap you face!

I’ve made a big fortune
Postmenopausally
Find your own cashbox
And get off my case.”

    These are fun . . .

    Diary, Schmiary
    Margaret Soltan was
    Scourge of all sloppiness
    Written and oral.

    Conflict of interest
    Drove her to fury,
    Finding skulduggery
    Deeply immoral.

    “Scourge of all sloppiness”!

    Thank you, Dave.

    Can’t stop myself . . .

    Russianist, Schmussianist
    David R. Stone was an
    Author of limericks
    Filthy and clean.

    Penned for a gaggle of
    Higher ed mavens,
    Loyal blog readers
    Whose tastes run obscene.

    I throw my hat in the ring with this one.

    Higgledy piggledy
    Charles Barnet Nemeroff
    Went down to Emory.
    They took a hit.

    Sesquipedalian,
    Given to vanity,
    Practiced venality,
    Now in deep shit.

    Fine job, adam. Second stanza especially. I’d have done

    Charles B. Nemeroff

    in the second line, to scan better.
