I see I'm the first to get to post on this new thread
So what can I find to write inside my head?
I need to come up with something really amazing
But all I can think to rhyme now is 'cows grazing'

It has been so long since I rhymed on this thread...
and I doubt that verse will deserve street cred.
Still I offer this thought
while not smoking pot..
So glad to see that this thread is not dead.

There's Zero and Else and Snooze and DG
Up to old tricks - and rhyming of pee
and barf and of dudes
with poop-head alludes
So much in the strength of this power of "we".

I will try to do better next time. Out of practice...

You guys are great!

SQ, so glad to see you doing so well!!

a blizzard hit us hard last night
three foot drifts revealed at first light
winter's calling
the sky is falling
in white chunks dancing left and right

i remember when a bump meant a sniff of coke
lucky my heart never stopped, and that's no joke
yup, i'm still here
without a beer
and glad i emerged from the daze and finally awoke

Don't look back

I was married before
But it wasn't a girl
I married a drug
That's ruining this world
I loved it so much
I didn't care who I hurt
Just like a rose
It grows from the earth
You took all I had
You put me away
To a life of crime
You made me pay
I held on to you for years
But now I can see
Without you in my life
I'm happy and Free
I can finally say
My life is back on course
So **** you drug
Where now divorced

Nice, Paddy... Hugs not drugs, yo!

i once met a redhead from county cork
so sweet to me, though i'm an awkward dork
a radiant beauty
a royal cutie
we chatted all night - a princess and an orc

Paddy, welcome to the limerick thread
I hope you'll stick around a bit
And write whatever's in your head
Sometimes we show a little wit
And others write like we're brain-dead
But let it be understood
No matter the topic, no matter the mood,
All posts are welcome here
So long as you avoid the drugs and beer

(Sitting with another addict )

Today I sat with another addict discussing the affect , As we talked amongst each other I felt so much respect,
I used to think I was alone until I met people like him , they made me realize that my life is not so grim,
We shared our story's, our experience strength and hope , now I don't feel so lonely people like him help me to cope,
You might not even notice but you helped me so much , thanks for sharing your story I hope we keep in touch

Free

As I think about life
I can finally say
That I'm so grateful
To be alive today
I once was told
Your going to die
And as she said it
She started to cry
That person is not around
But I know she can see
The person I've become
She is looking after me
Life can be tuff
But that's okay
I know your with me
Everyday
Without your help
And all you did for me
I'm living life
Cause now I'm free

I wanted to take a little time to send wishes
for a Happy Thanksgiving to my limerick friends
May you find somebody else to do the dishes
And have turkey, stuffing and pumpkin pie without end

I'm thankful for all of you!

there once was a glutton who ate so much pie
it triggered a panic attack and he thought he would die
with arteries clogged
and brain all a-fogged
he inhaled three more slices then started to cry

there once was a schlep that at so much stuffing
it swelled in his gut and commenced for to puffing
he clenched at his heart
and let loose a loud fart
then he refilled his plate and announced, "That wuz nuffing!"

the cherry pie had a pit that cracked a tooth
the one that had been in my mouth since my youth
shoulda reached for the berry
instead of the cherry
i'm glad this is just fiction and not the truth

Love is like a piano getting played

A thousand roses falling in display

Wonderful as the stars that dance away in space

Grateful as you hold both my hands you only have to see my face

(not finished again lol)

Your choice

On this journey
Life gets better
But some of the damage
Can last for ever
Some days are tuff
With pain comes trouble
Who knew staying clean
Could be such a struggle
When you get better
And you realize
Drugs are not the answer
There the devil in disguise
So just try do it
One day at a time
Get rid of that devil
Out of your mind
So just stick with it
And you will see
That life gets better
When you are free
