They had nothing, I mean nothing, on the menu without meat in it. Except they figured this sweet potato casserole maybe didn’t? “Do y’all have any peanut butter?” No. “Cottage cheese?” Not today. “I guess tofu is out, huh.” Do what now? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cccfef9e8c3d19d98cce9df/1774557066474-QISL6JLTF6W59P0F2BBB/Beets.jpg Blog - Fun With Food https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cccfef9e8c3d19d98cce9df/1774557076518-3145XN5CUJSXXYUVVDNN/KaleGingerBeets.jpg Blog - Fun With Food https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cccfef9e8c3d19d98cce9df/1774557660024-NM5K3DLZN0X52TO056NJ/AppleCorer.jpg Blog - Fun With Food https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cccfef9e8c3d19d98cce9df/1774557667188-2QIRL8O6S08EGZXQ9G85/IMG20230424183133.jpg Blog - Fun With Food https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cccfef9e8c3d19d98cce9df/1774557672532-WNRVW9N1HCNI0IR4SMCN/IMG20230424183239.jpg Blog - Fun With Food https://kathiestamps.com/blog/2026holidays monthly 0.5 2026-02-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cccfef9e8c3d19d98cce9df/1216205c-86ce-4cc7-be3d-19ec42234dca/2026+holidays.png Blog - Holidays & Observances in 2026 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://kathiestamps.com/blog/super-bowl-limericks monthly 0.5 2026-02-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cccfef9e8c3d19d98cce9df/490721a5-0c51-4354-82df-f75c80887bbd/SB+2026.png Blog - Super Bowl Limericks - Make it stand out A Super Bowl LX Limerick Seattle Seahawks 29 New England Patriots 13 Feb. 8, 2026 Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California Notes: * Brandi Carlile sang "America the Beautiful." Katharine Lee Bates wrote it as a poem in 1893. For this year's Super performance, Brandi accompanied herself on the guitar, along with violinist Chauntee Ross and cellist Monique Ross, aka SistaStrings. * Charlie Puth accompanied himself on a Rhodes electric piano for the national anthem. "We declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist," sang Taylor Swift in the title track of The Tortured Poets Department. * The halftime performance by Benito "Bad Bunny" Martínez Ocasio was beyond amazing. The theater! All those people. It looked like there were more actors and dancers on the field than people in the stands. Wait, is that Lady Gaga? I recognize that trumpet tat. Wow. The dramatics, the choreography, the set design. Designsss, plural. Hang on, is that Ricky Martin? OMG this is getting better and better. Look at all these stunts and physicality. The fireworks. A wedding?!? I mean, this has been a show. Muy entretenido. Bad Bunny and company represented Puerto Rico stupendously. Puerto Rico has been a territory of the United States since 1898, btw. Puerto Ricans have been American citizens since 1917. * Oh, and can I even list all the reasons I despised the Squarespace commercial? As an account holder for however many years now, does Squarespace have a maximum character limit on this rant? Let's find out. These are just for starters, by the way. Destroying one laptop after another... why? Violent violence. Destructive destruction. Wasteful waste. I'm sorry, who thought we needed more negative negativity in our lives this week? Hmm? And if Emma Stone, she of the Hollywood elite who can afford pretty much anything, one would assume, can't get her own name as a domain? What chance does anyone in the hoi polloi have? That's on the money/affordability side. On the smarts side, is this commercial saying she didn't have the intellectual capability of doing this in, oh I don't know, 2004? So that's off the top of my head after seeing it one time. Sigh. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cccfef9e8c3d19d98cce9df/9e3710c1-cb20-4a32-801b-5c6ac0f0c277/1.png Blog - Super Bowl Limericks - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cccfef9e8c3d19d98cce9df/787f26d1-0ec6-4c94-b162-460e5895b1ac/SuperBowl2024.png Blog - Super Bowl Limericks - Make it stand out A Super Bowl LVIII Limerick Kansas City Chiefs 25 San Francisco 49ers 22 Feb. 11, 2024 Notes: * This was the second Super Bowl OT. (The first was in 2017.) * What a difference a year makes! We didn't pay any attention at all to 13 during the last Super Bowl. But this one, oh my. Super Bowl 58: 5 + 8 = 13 February 11th: 2 + 11 = 13 Halftime score: 3 to 10 = 13 In the third quarter, when KC already had two field goals and then scored a TD and the PAT was good? 13 points * Oh, and Reba McEntire sang the national anthem. Usher and friends had quite an entertaining halftime show. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cccfef9e8c3d19d98cce9df/3e3d4c9a-866f-4472-8f9d-8f06dc9c9f3a/2023.png Blog - Super Bowl Limericks - Make it stand out Super Bowl LVII Kansas City Chiefs 38 Philadelphia Eagles 35 Feb. 12, 2023 Notes: * As soon as the AFC and NFC champs were determined, I knew I'd never find anything to rhyme with one Kelce, much less two of them. Brothers Travis and Jason. * It was a you-score/we-score/couple of ties type of game, which is pretty much the best. * Chris Stapleton sang the national anthem. He's from Lexington, Kentucky, so I'm two degrees of separation from him. * Rihanna was the halftime performer. My tutoring student (tutee?!?) told me she would be the singer and I said, "Oh, let me show you her touring guitarist. His name is Nuno Bettencourt and he's a doll." The eighth-grader involuntarily shuddered and rolled her eyes, knowing what was coming. A YouTube show & tell. "No," she said. "Oh, just wait until you see how cute he is. Hang on, lemme show you some hair bands of the '80s first, since they kinda just popped up automatically." "No!" she screamed, because I was inflicting pain upon her eyes. She lowered her voice a little and said, "They look like my nana's dog." Sigh. But RiRi put on a fabulous halftime show! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cccfef9e8c3d19d98cce9df/213b35ba-d72b-4a9b-93fb-d2f40b30efa0/AFC+Championship+2022.png Blog - Super Bowl Limericks - Make it stand out AFC Conference Championship (in lieu of a Super Bowl poem this year?) Cincinnati Bengals 27 Kansas City Chiefs 24 Jan. 30, 2022 Notes: * Evan McPherson, Bengals kicker, is 22 for 22 on the season, 12 for 12 in the post-season, 4 for 4 in the AFC Championship game. In his ROOKIE YEAR, y'all. First year on the job. *Kickers have always fascinated me. Do they have ice water in their veins? 24/7 on-call therapist? hypnotist? Jupiter aligned with Mars? What? * This is the first limerick I’ve written about a conference championship. * Cincinnati is the de facto NFL home team for Lexington, Kentucky. An hour and change away, it is the closest pro football city. I think… haven’t checked it in a few years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cccfef9e8c3d19d98cce9df/127ae361-e8d9-4b42-998e-483d78a0c193/2021.png Blog - Super Bowl Limericks - Super Bowl LV Kansas City Chiefs 9 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31 Feb. 7, 2021 Notes: * Brady is a machine. * I thought about rhyming "acid reflux" (the easy-peasey rhyme was just too easy). * I remember when Vinny Testaverde wore a tangerine uniform. Creamsicle. Watching the Miami Dolphins in their aquamarine and Bucs in the creamsicle… well, the ‘80s were so much fun. * LV in Roman numerals means 55 in English numbers. Why, oh why, did the branding/graphics team put the Lombardi trophy in between the L and the V? It looks like LIV. Which means 54 in English, DUHHHHH. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cccfef9e8c3d19d98cce9df/bce2e511-c001-42b1-9696-81a2811d1095/Super+Bowl+2020.png Blog - Super Bowl Limericks - Super Bowl LIV San Francisco 49ers 20 Kansas City Chiefs 31 Feb. 2, 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cccfef9e8c3d19d98cce9df/a63b3f53-1444-40cf-aa83-d6ec491ee397/2019.png Blog - Super Bowl Limericks - Super Bowl LIII New England Patriots 13 Los Angeles Rams 3 Feb. 3, 2019 Note: * I had more fun looking up old Rams names (Fearsome Foursome! Rosey Grier and his needlepoint, Merlin Olsen and Little House on the Prairie, Deacon Jones and the other guy) than I did finally scribbling out this limerick. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cccfef9e8c3d19d98cce9df/51d3233c-5a66-4af9-8bc9-d0c775862bc2/Super+Bowl+2018.png Blog - Super Bowl Limericks - Super Bowl LII Philadelphia Eagles 41 New England Patriots 33 Feb. 4, 2018 Notes: * Bradley Cooper was one of the fans in the stands. * So I used Cooper Hewitt font for this one. * This is my favorite Superb Owl limerick. It really wrote itself. But it's very inside baseball and you had to know your performers and commercials and all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cccfef9e8c3d19d98cce9df/d263054d-3662-4616-94a4-e148f5b1c842/2017.png Blog - Super Bowl Limericks - Super Bowl LI New England Patriots 34 Atlanta Falcons 28 Feb. 5, 2017 Trivia: The first (and only, as of 2021) overtime game in the history of the Super Bowl. Notes: * In the pregame show, The Schuyler Sisters' rendition of America the Beautiful was delightful. “And crown thy good with brotherhood . . . and sisterhood.” Yes! Katharine Lee Bates wrote the original poem in the late 1800s, but you just know she would love the 2017 update. * Then Lady Gaga's halftime show. Wow. What a performer giving it everything and then some. Fabulous. And how about the PianoArc, invented by her keyboardist?! * As for the professional athletes on the field, I kinda like this new trend of each team getting the chance to feel like winners (see also: 2016 World Series). The Falcons dominated the first half and surely experienced the thrill of being champions in the locker room at the half. Then the Patriots wound up taking home the Lombardi Trophy for the fifth time, but for the first overtime win in Super Bowl history. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cccfef9e8c3d19d98cce9df/2bc5549b-bdd8-4da8-bbb3-75b781b94c40/2016.png Blog - Super Bowl Limericks - Super Bowl L Denver Broncos 24 Carolina Panthers 10 Feb. 7, 2016 Notes: * L for large. * There were a lot of bathroom-oriented commercials during this broadcast, so a few of us may have referred to it as the Super Bowel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cccfef9e8c3d19d98cce9df/7b0a185f-4507-4e5c-bce1-737138ca6201/2015.png Blog - Super Bowl Limericks - Super Bowl XLIX New England Patriots 28 Seattle Seahawks 24 Feb. 1, 2015 Notes: * Why in the actual why were the 49ers not in Super Bowl 49?

Come again some other day but not on Derby maybe? In the cold Kentucky rain, as Elvis sang, 58° in Louisville (and in Lexington, where I sat in a very comfortable living room). Simone Biles did a fabulous job with “Riders up!” There were some great names in the field of 19. I was torn between Journalism and Publisher, of course. But hey, being an old rock ‘n roller, I love me some Sandman also. Congrats to Sovereignty in winning this one on a sloppy track. And how cool is our governor, Gov. Andy Beshear?!? Love him so much. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cccfef9e8c3d19d98cce9df/e9f3f929-2171-464c-9935-a34873b40f62/Derby+150.png Blog - Kentucky Derby Limericks - Make it stand out Kentucky Derby 150 May the force of the horse be with you on May fourth. Martha Stewart commanded the jockeys did "Riders, Up!" A very fortunate 75 degrees in Lexington, what with the threat of rain all day. Not sure what it was in Louisville, but similar. Kinda sweaty, probably. One of (many) reasons I'm so glad I'm not a man, bc they're expected to wear suit jackets and all. 156,000 people all in close proximity. All righty then. One of the photoiest photo finishes of all time. At least three horses crossed the finish line at the same time. What on earth would they have done before technology was invented? Split the purse? Call for a do-over? Mystik Dan was declared the winner. 3 Mystik Dan 2 Sierra Leone 11 Forever Young https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cccfef9e8c3d19d98cce9df/c55e8628-c519-463f-913a-8070fa071ab9/Derby149.png Blog - Kentucky Derby Limericks - Make it stand out Kentucky Derby 149 Winner: Mage (rhymes with Sage) It was a lovely 77 degrees at post time for a field of 18 horses. Part of the pomp and circumstance of the Kentucky Derby ceremonies includes the “Riders, up!” command. It’s the equine version of “Drivers, start your engines!” and it is the moment when the jockeys mount their horses. In 2023, the commander, so to speak, was Patrick Mahomes. Run of show: celebrity mount command, bugler’s playing of Call to Post, playing/singing of “My Old Kentucky Home.” Fun fact for Derby 149: Mage is owned by not one person or two or three, but 391 shareholders of a syndicate called Commonwealth. If you picked your top three horses by numbers, your 8-3-14 won the trifecta and paid over $980 (insert all exclamation marks). 8 Mage 3 Two Phil's (sic) 14 Angel of Empire https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cccfef9e8c3d19d98cce9df/f27afb39-0a4e-489d-8fd0-b0be15d7f935/Derby148.png Blog - Kentucky Derby Limericks - Make it stand out Kentucky Derby 148 Winner: Rich Strike Talk about a payout. Rich Strike went off at 80:1 odds. Not the longest longshot in Kentucky Derby history (that belonged to Donerail in 1913, at 91:1), but the second longest. If you had put “$2 across on ___,” for a total bet of six bucks, you would have cashed in that tote ticket for a $267.20 payout. Not bad for a couple of minutes of excited stress? Congrats to trainer Eric Reed, from Versailles, Kentucky, in Woodford County. Also in the money for this race: Epicenter in the place position and Zandar to show. Win, place, show. That’s how we say first, second, third in Kentucky. Well, in other horse racing places also. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cccfef9e8c3d19d98cce9df/1619972103404-GAS7VFNS4QTNXERJWEEA/Derby+147.png Blog - Kentucky Derby Limericks - Kentucky Derby 147 Winner: Medina Spirit* It was a gorgeous day in the Bluegrass State (in Lexington, anyway), with sunshine and 76 degrees at Churchill Downs in Louisville. Bob Baffert won yet another Kentucky Derby, number seven. (If he had won with post position #11, I could’ve worked with that.) * Medina Spirit was eventually disqualified, as was trainer Baffert. The equine DQ was announced posthumously, as Medina Spirit died in early December 2021. On Feb. 21, 2022, Mandaloun was named the winner of the 2021 Derby. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cccfef9e8c3d19d98cce9df/1619795768271-RGS08G9L37F60GFKW5ZF/Derby146-ish.png Blog - Kentucky Derby Limericks - Kentucky Derby 146… but not yet.

So I used pink for the limerick background, in honor of the hot pink silks. Then there was an objection. So I just changed the color instead of the wording. Kentucky Derby 145 was rainy, for the third year in a row, btw, and 59 degrees at the track in Louisville. While the race finished at... what time, would you say, 6:52 p.m.? (I didn't look at any sort of timing device), an inquiry took a reeeeally long time, so the winning reversal, the reversal winner, was made official at 7:17 p.m. with Country House replacing Maximum Security in the 2019 win position. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cccfef9e8c3d19d98cce9df/1619796036745-5W0WLTCHRDXJZVJC41KK/Derby+145+Limerick+%281%29.png Blog - Kentucky Derby Limericks - Kentucky Derby 145 (final) Winner: Country House* * Due to an inquiry and disqualification and all. This made for my first 1 and 1A entry from a poetry standpoint. So to speak. Do you think everybody with a tote ticket for Maximum Security was craving a Blizzard or something after the DQ was announced? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cccfef9e8c3d19d98cce9df/1619800241283-YHJ45A5I9OR78QR5ALEI/Derby+144.jpg Blog - Kentucky Derby Limericks - Kentucky Derby 144 Winner: Justify The 2018 Kentucky Derby was run in about three inches of rain at Churchill Downs, where it was 62 degrees that afternoon. All two- and four-legged participants and attendees were waterlogged. Justify went off at 5-2, making him the odds-on favorite in the race. Trainer Bob Baffert won his fifth (5) Derby, jockey Mike Smith his second (2). Coincidence? No. There are no coincidences in horseracing, only manifestations of divine providence. Also, Mike Smith was 52 years old at the time. So, y’know, it was just meant to be. Justify would go on to win the Preakness and Belmont, becoming the 13th winner of the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cccfef9e8c3d19d98cce9df/1619802262438-SUD0ZVVXS0KD1GDO3NWS/Derby+143.jpg Blog - Kentucky Derby Limericks - Kentucky Derby 143 Winner: Always Dreaming The 2017 race was run in the cold Kentucky rain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cccfef9e8c3d19d98cce9df/1619907967709-2OXROEBON2W5V9FE26AO/Derby+142.png Blog - Kentucky Derby Limericks - Kentucky Derby 142 Winner: Nyquist It was around 80 degrees and the track was fast in 2016. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cccfef9e8c3d19d98cce9df/1619907999779-A73TWURNV6DXXMFR5OV5/Derby+141.jpg Blog - Kentucky Derby Limericks - Kentucky Derby 141 Winner: American Pharoah It really was gorgeous in 2015, with sunshine and 74-ish degrees.
