As I mused of these mighty days, and of peace return'd, and the dead
that return no more,

Phoebus, sitting one day in a laurel-tree's shade,
Was reminded of Daphne, of whom it was made,
For the god being one day too warm in his wooing,
She took to the tree to escape his pursuing

A true episode,
When I came to Bombay,
Just after my graduation in Kerala,
I was an innocent twenty year old

The Other Night I got the blues and tried to smile in vain.
I couldn’t chuck a chuckle at the foolery of Twain;
When Ward and Billings failed to bring a twinkle to my eye,
I turned my eyes to Hansard of the fifteenth of July

I sometimes sit beneath a tree
And read my own sweet songs;
Though naught they may to others be,
Each humble line prolongs

A person named Petrie, he lived there as well;
But Mr. Roselle he resided away

Known familiarly as 'King's.'

In my life I’ve never told a girl I love her so
And how I’d hold her so tight and never let her go
But in the past I met you and I made you an exception
Sometimes were rough but I figured we'd prevent the birth of war like contraception

Why have you laid a road so long for me?
You are the one who never walks along with me
And hiding somewhere aren`t you observing me?

Entangled, winds now this way and now that
His devious course uncertain, seeking home;

surpass sarcastic smiling hurdles

Recently I heard a poet say that limericks should not rhyme because there is no rhyme for the word 'limerick'. This seemed flimsy reasoning to me but anyway I set myself to find some rhymes for Limerick. Here are some of the (very silly) results:

With mocking look or sarcastic grimace.
Sometimes it seems to frown as if to reprimand
The antics of a rabid mob in a lawless land.

As we all only once were an embryo the conditioning

Such a lovely face

Amid what dangers art thou doom'd to shine!

And her rigourous kiss was very painful
As her wisdom tooth pierced my pale lips.
And she raped me.

And throngs of youths, when sought her passing here,
As crazy lovers, will not run behind.

Not that they call me by real
But by bad name with sarcastic drill

In this song of Jayadeva, Radha is portrayed as a victim of many emotions. On one hand, she is extremely sad, angry and jealous because Hari is not with her. On the other hand, she is smitten by the fiery and intoxicating arrows of the Cupid. This makes Radha yearn for Krishna more and more. Radha talks to her Sakhi or friend in a sarcastic fashion imagining her beloved Krishna engrossed in amorous plays with the other maidens of Vrindavana.
"O Sakhi! Why the hell are you unhappy?
Does it matter if that unsympathetic dumb- fool does not come?

Cover my eyes that I might not see intolerance
that I should, with handkerchief in hand,
catch the falling tears,
shed with collective sadness

The wayfarer you must be tired now.
Here the inn to get a rest for a while.
Don't be scared, on your wearisome journey
there is no any weighbridge to weigh

When slapped by raving rants
Or flamed with insults.
When slurred by sarcastic sneers.
I know your blood will boil,

Many pet names are kept by sisters
When I hear them my eyes glitter

Hoping for miraculous savior and a place called home
Convincing voices broke the quiet night
Patrons and pathetic pouring in incessantly

The waitress asked “ready to order”
I said “I’d like that with a please”
A sarcastic please was included
To go with my two fresh cream tea’s

His smile through the gap of his front teeth still lingers on
Uttering his last words 'thanks' in a colloquial accent
He went in, his eyes tired but, filled with rare tears of emotion
A roar of the masses, a comrade, has just disappeared,

Oh the wife she tried to tell me that 'twas nothing but the thrumming
Of a wood-pecker a-rapping on the hollow of a tree;
And she thought that I was fooling when I said it was the drumming
Of the mustering of legions, and 'twas calling unto me;

There is no light in this frozen heart.
No refractions of love to heat my soul.
I am absent from my own thoughts.
Inconclusive though they may be.

Laid alone in the dust a lily petal,
Broken and dejected from her family,
With no one to play or to battle,
She just murmered her honest plea,

The graceful dancing twigs
made by the excruciating breeze of the fresh air,
I am completely and clearly relaxed, as clear as the cascading river
How peaceful it is,

During the death dances of the Women and men,
I fell that I'm lost in a rainy black glen
Laugh loudly, say funny but DIRTY words,

Sensing a secluded sarcastic mumble
Mighty ocean, holding up her breath
Commiserating chase, paused the pace
As if, to scan the universe of distance

She was being sarcastic when she said that he was a hunk.
But she really thought that he was a punk.
She thought that he was lower than a snake.
And she wanted to drown him in the lake.

Some sweet jazz, Oscar Peterson, Fats Waller and lady Holiday
A table for elbows to lean on as the smoke circles the light
A table as round as his glasses, we will spend this amazing night

A basic vocabulary and some original Letters of Advice from a poetic dialogue stretching over 200 years have been included in the notes at the end of the poem itself and before the original poem and other parodies included for reference

Sarcastic?
I am not!
I am cynical.
With touches of skepticism,

An ancient terra-cotta Faun,
A laughing note in 'mid the green,
Grins at us from the central lawn,
With secret and sarcastic mien.

MY emotions have no color,
just a visionary statement,
probing my isolation, outraged,
by all these sarcastic words,

I don't care about you pretending not to know me.
Turn your head the other way if you want to.

Life's a mystery
And its creator, too mysterious
And I'm not a mystic at all
Fettered by cosmic link

I try not to care.
But it only hurts more.
I try to hold my head.

Get away from my dreams.

Still it remains calm and quiet
The feelings are definitely made know or let

If it is revealed at the end then it is fear

It can be had in maximum or crystallize

Love surrounds him with its arms
Child wants to reach every corner
Up in the air, flies a Balloon

Vulnerability sets in
Winter cold rubs in
Silver lines drove

The question that lingers the most is why?
Why must I open my sarcastic mouth to joke?
why must criticize people as they go by?
Why is it most dangerous animals that I want to poke?

Again I will emerge
again I will surge
Though troubles are there
challenges are there

When somebody smiles?
Think before you
Return the smile
First, assess

Butterflies, Complete panic,
A thrill of excitement.
Watching the water, pure and clear,
A feeling of wanting, drilling through my mind.

Why are you leaving me a tree and a rock?
We here are experiencing a severe deficit crisis.
And we need more from our clients,
Than sarcastic gifts!
