A Limerick On Self-Improvement
I recently met a Miss Richmond,
Who was fond of self-enrichment.
She joined every movement
For self-improvement
And read every book, in abridgment.
She aimed at reducing her flaws,
Defying all natural laws,
And chopping like wood
As hard she could
Went hacking away at the cause.
She took a harassment class
And swapped all her plastic for glass,
She chose her pronouns,
Observed the lockdowns,
Yet something was missing, alas.
She gave up the veal and ceviche,
Stopped watching political speeches,
Fought anger with pills
She swallowed with meals,
And felt very anxious and itchy.
Determined to grow and do better,
She followed her books to the letter,
Broke up with her lover
Only to discover
That all left of her was her sweater.
