I remember when amusing yourself was not internet-dependent. For example, my husband and I used to write limericks. They’re not particularly good, but, unlike whatever Netflix thing I watched last night, they survive.
A silly old bag from Loch Lomond
Believed in a terrible omen
With chattering teeth
She fled o’er the heath
And stumbled and drowned in the gloaming
A near-sighted harpy from Wells
Confused all her magic and spells
She mixed up a potion
With Calamine lotion
Because of her love for the smells
A middle-aged woman from Guam
Sat down on a hydrogen bomb
Her feet and her face
Were completely erased
But her ass remained perfectly calm
[alternate ending:
Causing condition
Of nuclear fission
Depriving her bairn of their mom]
A grotty old guy from Vancouver
Employed as a furniture mover
Got horny one day
In a violent way
And made love to a customer’s Hoover
There was an old man in Dobb’s Ferry
Who went to the public library
He took, as his choice,
The works of James Joyce
To paper his new apiary
There was an old man from Rangoon
Who ate with a runcible spoon
He used his bread knife
To butter his wife
And fed her to his pet baboon
There was a young lady from Nimes
Who slathered herself with whipped cream
And traveled to Thierry
Dressed as a strawberry
Rendezvoused with a shortcake intime.
A tidy old broad from Spokane
Once fell face-first into a fan
But she was so neat
And so fast on her feet
That she caught the whole mess in a pan
Go ahead and write one. It will improve your day.
