alien world (limerick)

[milo]

oh ours is an alien race
everyone tryin' to keep pace
a hug for your neighbor
is just too much labor
humanity's gone with no trace

Everyone tries to keep pace

humanity's gone with no trace

Say it ain't so.

I fear that the good people of Limerick, Ireland may think that this is about them.
On a more serious note, I do agree with you about the concept of neighbour which seems to have changed dramatically as society has grown larger regardless of whether it is spelt with or without a 'u'.

Ha, you nailed it. I liked this piece. Have you started each line with small letters intentionally though?

It's really nifty. Solid limerick.

Not that there is anything wrong your handling of the form, this form my not be the best to use for what you are saying, but the limerick is generally supposed to be funny. Although wiping out the human race due to indifference is pretty funny, but then again, wiping out the human race is pretty humorous regardless of the method

Good to see you posting again.
