The runaway train in my brain
Threatens to drive me insane.
To divert its mad rush
These keys I must crush
Until only the echoes remain.

Here's the challenge. Check it out and join in the fun:

Oooohhhh– such a great one!
Wonderful job.
This is such a striking piece. Wonderful work!
Noooo I hope you're not done! I love reading your limericks!
The only thing worse that a flood through the brain is a brain freeze. (Okay, there are probably plenty of other things worse, but still....)
Wonderful! Fantastic, Dana!! I bet you have a few more Limericks in you.
I'm loving these!
This is surprisingly deep for a limerick. Well done, Dana.
That last line was surprisingly deep! Very well done on this one Dana!
I'm anticipating some kind of dreamscape stream of consciousness limericks in the wee hours.
