An Appropriately Disrespectful Classic Art Meme Limerick
Putting Misguided Self-Entitlement & Arrogance in its place
I am a fan of the Classic Art Memes that have been a big hit on Facebook. There are many groups that post them. There is much clever creativity on display when someone takes a classic painting of a person and/or people and turns it into a popular social media post by “putting words in their mouths.” For me, they have been an inspiration for limericks. I have stockpiled quite a few to work on, knowing that they have a muse quality that I will be able to capture with five lines of wisdom, wit and rhyme. And there are those, like this one, where it happens the moment that I see it, usually with some form of the last line popping into my head. I am sure that 2025 will be filled with Classic Art Meme limericks – the fun’s just starting.
Don’t let arrogance go unchecked.
And when it’s disdain you want to project,
So as not to confuse,
The expression to use…
Should be – “With NO due respect!”

Valuable Advice About Free Advice
I learned a lot about life working in my dad’s junkyard. It was a place that always had unusual and interesting characters hanging around (like myself). Some of these characters were junkyard philosophers and some of them gave me some profundity that I think about a lot. One piece of junkyard philosophy came from a street hustler who did some time for armed robbery. He was a very observant fellow who got his education at the school of hard knocks. He offered this about things being “free.” He would say, “ ‘FREE’?? There ain’t nothing ‘free,’” meaning that there was always a price or catch. And in the case of “free advice” the price is the potential consequences from listening to advice from people that do not have a personal interest in solving your problem. When things go South for you from listening to them, they are going to quote Brother Bluto in Animal House – “You fucked up. You trusted us.”
