On the contrary, I thought the basic premise of the limerick was quite clever. While the poet seemed to struggle a little bit with the meter and rhythm in the first two couplets, the idea to abandon the limerick structure to allow the reader to slam into a stark, two-word sentence at the end was great.

I think the rest of what you've written about "haters" is just you projecting your outlook onto others. Instead of the Coffee Depot and "a few select Water Street businesses", might I suggest that you patronize Jack's (also on Water Street), have a cool drink, chat with others, share a few laughs, and relax for a little while?
