Come write a sobriety limerick.
First, Second and fifth lines rhyme with each other, and third and fourth lines rhyme together.

Exhausted I feel your fear
that in weakness the AV draws near,
you may need to borrow,
our strength to reach tomorrow,
i swear you will find it all here

EQ you must be a brick wall
3 feet thick and at least 10 feet tall,
for we lean on you here
in our weakness and fear
yet you bear all our weight through it all

Oh Toots, you write such folly!
I bear no ones weight, by golly!
Support is a game
where we each take the aim
And we each take a turn with each volley!

My hair is wrapped in plastic bags
I've henna'd again and can't be sad
I wish someone would come a knockin'
and see my plastic head a rockin'
That would be totally rad. :D

Oh stairs I love your poems so random
I think I am a stairs poem fandom
Your limericks do hint and hedge
They always have a funny edge
But not too far or they'd have banned 'em!

Carol blessed us with her presence.
Epitomized sobriety's essence.
If she's in heaven then she knows
That its inside us, heaven grows.
And so inside us live her lessons:

To search our heart before we sleep
To make amends instead of weep.
To make a special bedtime snack.
To live abundant, not in lack.
Cause what we sow is what we'll reap.

Her memory shall remain
Her truth shall never wane
Live life each day
Remember to pray
Tears fall like gentle rain

So thankful to be clean
it sure beats being mean
I like the way I'm eating
Of foot I'm nearly fleeting
No bad days lately, this is keen!

Its another day, and yet it's not.
Can't say quite why, or say quite what.
But there's something new, that I am learning,
Or maybe just the worm is turning.
I'm opening doors, I thought were shut.

When to leave, why to stay
I am thinking of this today
Do I belong
Or is the song wrong?
On this I will pray today

I lost it with the energy guy
he wanted to see my bill, yeah right
I said no thank you but he droned on
I had to tell him to get off my lawn
That energy guy didn't see the light

These guys knock once or twice a week
To view our bill is what they seek
It's really such a home invasion
I can't believe they'd be so brazen
They must think people are weak

The AV showed at work today.
I never drank at work, I say!
It saw an "in",
Thought it could win.
But it forgot, that I don't play!!

Today I did what was expected of me.
I didn’t beg and I didn’t plea.
I didn’t ask for one minute of help.
Not once did you hear me yelp.
For today I let myself be free.

I'm up, I'm down, asleep, awake
Want to eat it too and have my cake.
But I'm NPO for morning labs
And though the hunger pains do stab
I need bloodwork, so tummy: ache.

Oh Bloss they say to wait a year
Before decisions oh so dear
I hated when they told me that
But now I see from where I sat
Things once blurry, now are clear.

Thanks E.Q.
I will listen to you
To stay or go
Or turn off the show
Your words ring true

Friday is here
Weekend draws near
What shall I do
I haven't a clue
Stay sober, that is clear

Life leads us strange new places,
When in sobriety's graces.
You don't force a thing
Stay open and bring
A smile for all the new faces.

Stay still and look around
Keep your feet on the ground.
You're not in Oz,
You just have pause
As sobriety's turned you around!

Limericks are fine
Don't want to whine
Feel like hiding
Don't feel like writing
Hope it's not a sign
