Welcome to the Tweed Trends podcast. Hey, Evette, what's trending today? Hey, I'm Evette, hey girl. And you are tuned in to Tweed Trends.

It's the quickest way to find out what's trending today. Hello and welcome back to Tweed Trends, where today we are celebrating National Limerick Day. Let's get started. National Limerick Day was created to celebrate English poet Edward Lear, who's known as the father of Limerick's.

And if you don't know much about a Limerick, it's a poem, a five-liner. And the way that the cadence of it goes is that your first two lines and the fifth line, they all rhyme with each other, and then the second and third lines rhyme with each other. And it gets a little bit more complicated because in all of your A lines, one, two, and five, they tend to have eight to nine syllables, and then your remaining two lines, your third and fourth line, tend to have around five or six syllables. So I would like to challenge you to a Limerick off.

Yes, I want to hear your lyrics. Please, please join me. I'm going to set the ball rolling. I've got two that just kind of came to me, just out of nowhere.

After looking at Twitter and seeing some little stinky comments that Mitch McConnell made about former President Barack Obama calling him classless. I'll clutch the pearls. How dare you, sir? Now, granted, these two examples that I've created myself, they don't actually speak to Mitch McConnell, but I feel one brewing in my gut right about now.

So who knows? By the time this is all over, I may have a third one as well. But hopefully you like these two. Take it, run with it, and then let me see what you've got.

Okay, here we go. One day President 45 decided he'd stop telling lies. His hair, yes it grew, and his hands did too. You wouldn't have believed your own eyes.

COVID-19 was a virus's name, and many, many lives did it claim. Quarantine, where a mask is all they did ask, the ignorant didn't comply. What a shame. Today's episode is now done.

I hope that you really had fun. Follow me as I tweet Tuesday's Thursday every week while you do your chores on the run. Alright, guys, that's it. Thanks for joining me.

I hope you had fun. So something to lighten the mood with the limericks, you know? And before you head on out, do me a favor, head on over to Twitter and follow me at hevet. That's at heyevet.

Or just look for the hashtag tweet trends. Alright and see you here on Thursday. Bye now.
