I just read back our old poems.
Some short; some others like tomes.
We're a creative bunch
And I've got a hunch
I can feel it all deep in my bones.

For my sixth sense has whispered to me.
We will learn to live more so~ber~lee,
Our writing reveals us
Limericks heal us.
With this I am sure you'll agree!

We are finding new words for our feelings.
And naming the layers we're peeling.
Its therapy~ rhyme.
keeping sober time
As we feel the beat we are healing.

All the syllables, rhymes and syntax
Soften the difficult facts.
Writing is pressure
But we read at our leisure
All your limericks help me relax.

And one last thing I must pen
Before the muse leaves I will send
All my love and good wishes.
I blow sober kisses!
And that, kind reader, is the end.

I wish I was there for your steak,
What a humongous carnivore I make,
I eat beef pork or lamb
Kebabs, chops ( not spam!)
I would even take a bite of snake

Reindeer and venison
Buffalo and bison
No chianti with my liver
But kidneys by the sliver
I'd even chew ears like Mike Tyson

To celebrate 15 months of sobriety
I would eat through the menus entirety
I would eat through the courses
( yes I have eaten horses)
My eating compulsively dietary

Full of meat I would waddle away
digesting would take most of a day
Big pants giving a wedgie
I would need to turn veggie
Oh and EQ of course, you would pay!!!

Congratulations on reaching fifteen
Our very own Limerick Queen
We are here all the time
Awaiting you rhyme
Poetry keeps sobriety keen

Toots thanks for that poem galore
I laughed out loud while in a store!
That poem was SO funny
YOU are the Queen honey!
Rereading it now, I will roar!!

May all have a good day, today.
I'm sending love everyone's way.
Cross west, coast, and Fife!
May love fill your life.
And sobriety take root and stay.

I'm eating cake tomorrow
And I will do so without sorrow
It's been months since I've had this delight
In fact, I might just start tonight
A bigger pant size, I might have to borrow

LDT I would lend you my knickers
But their currently in use by 3 vicars
I said they could rent,
to use as a tent
For the price of a mars and 2 snickers!

White chocolate and raspberry cake
Sends me into a maniacal state
Lend me your tent in advance
So I won't loosen my pants
Now no need to keep track of what I just ate. ( Thanks Toots...brilliant idea... )

Ok, I really must confess
Ate two big pastries, more or less
Really tasty pastry
Bought from a local bakery
Today I'll wear a loose dress

Personally, I like nuts and fruits
But if for you, snakes and ears suits
Then who am I to judge the way
You plan your menu today?
So carry on dear toots!

But just for a second turn your back the other way
Just so I might whisper behind it to say
"Ears! Really?!?!
That's rather silly
Toots grossed me out just a bit today!"

Really the thought of all that meat is quite sickly
I hope to lose those images quickly
I might lose my breakfast
If I don't think of something else fast
But perhaps I'm just a bit finicky

Sometimes these rhymes pop
Right out the top
It's really quite fun
Once it's begun
But then all too soon they'll stop

I will admit I'm a carnivore
I'd eat the ears off a boar
But it's cake that I'm thinking
Well.... At at east I'm not drinking
Just hoping I'll fit through the door.

I adore pork barbeque
potato salad and baked beans too
A big fat burger with an onion frill
It's summertime, bring out the grill
Let's eat! It's the thing to do!

When I first read
This limerick thread
I knew I'd found
The place for me to be around
Since I had quit-drinking poems in my head

Toots I admit
I really don't know s***
I didn't know if Fife was a real place
Or a made up word to fill up rhyming space
So when first I joined, I had to Google it!

When I went to school
They said 'America rules'
But forgot to tell us
The worlds bigger than the US
Thank God for Google! I'm no longer quite such a fool!

Even in England some folk just don't know,
that Fife is a place you can go,
You can come visit Buckie
Or try Auchtermuchty
But St Andrews is where golfers go!

DG if nuts are your thing,
And you don't eat the bird on the wing
Or croc, kangaroo,
Shark or Gnu
Then here, for your supper you'd sing!

I have vegs and nuts and grain
I eat salad and occasionally grain
But I'd die on my feet
If I couldn't eat meat
I believe it would drive me insane!

( not that anyone would know any different!)

Toots, I may have an occasional piece of beef or chicken
But I think ears and snakes should be kept out of the kitchen

(And strangely, I thought I'd already posted this earlier, but now I don't see it. I hope I didn't accidentally put it on another thread or something stupid.)
