In the end, I’m thankful JoeyGirl challenged me to a subject I know a little bit about. I was truly afraid of this challenge after the last one.
However, it was more fun to write about Herod Agrippa than Marcus Agrippa, so I did a couple limericks for both of them.
Herod Agrippa Limericks
There once was a king named Agrippa,
Whose stomach got sicka and sicka.
He didn’t Praise God
So he had to eat sod.
Those worms can really come get ya.
Agrippa, the proud, kingly man,
Was highly praised in the Land.
The crowds proclaimed him a Christ
Which he didn’t deny
So cursed, he rots under the sand.
Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa
Agrippa was fond of geography
But Ceasar’s reign - not a democracy.
He killed many men
And ruled a French land,
Famous for Actium n’ his tactology.
Marcus Agrippa at Actium
Did not seek a bit of sanctum.
His timely arrival-
Ruined Antony’s survival
But led all of Rome to respect him.

Well done, sister darling. However, I will cut short my praise for an entirely different topic…
Have you SEEN what happens to decorative cabbages that are left too long??? They sprout this…thing…out of….ugh…
Seriously, it’s obscene.
I’m hopping on the “eradicate decorative cabbages” bandwagon. You’d be pleased to know we rejected an apartment complex on Friday almost entirely because they had decorative cabbages. That, and their shower heads were made for people under the height of 5′2.

Oh my, I did laugh at your funny Herod Agrippa poems. That’s probably the first poetic verse anyone’s ever written about him. Very funny, very sharp. Miss you lots!
