Another limerick, this one composed for the folks at Desperate Housewives. At the start of this its final season, Felicity Huffman said, “All bets are off.” I tweeted this to Jeff Greenstein, and he hit me back with a “Well done!”

Enjoy:

Pilot season has started. Some actors behave differently during this time of year. Some businesses that make money off of actors push their wares more heavily this time of year. I say the thing to do for most of us non-famous folk is keep your head down and work hard 365 days. Thus, I have composed a limerick for the season.

There once was a season called pilot
That raised actors’ hopes way up high a lot.
I calmly proclaim
That unless you’re a “name,”
A different approach should apply not.

Stay tuned for more gems. I’m composing limericks these days.
