No, I wrote that limerick yesterday to showcase the term "beat a dead horse".
Here's one I wrote for "carmageddon", a 2011 Buzzword (as reported by BBC News).
Carmaggedon was facing LA,
But it looks like a tweet saved the day.
Traffic grid-lock was fleeting
Once Tom went a-tweeting:
Gas-zilla is tweeted away.
Author's Note: The city of Los Angeles asked several celebrities, like Tom Hanks and Ashton Kutcher, to warn Los Angeles residents about carmageddon through the micro-blogging website Twitter.

"This weekend, LA! Avoid Carmageddon, Gas-zilla, 405-enstein, Grid-lock-apalooza! STAY HOME. Eat & shop local," Hanks wrote.

When persuasion has run its full course,
And no one will budge, short of force,
If you still carry on
Knowing hope is all gone,
Then you may as well beat a dead horse.

For certain, the end time is near:
It arrives on a pig spreading fear.
If you really must sneeze,
Do a Dracula, please.
Aporkalypse fever is here!
