SnoozyQ

It's so great to see you're from Oz
I was so happy , just coz
We'll gang up on the others
Our fellow Aussie brothers
We'll show them all who's the boz !

But seriously though its a treat
When new Aussies we meet
Take part in our thread
There's much to be said
All of you I'd love to meet .

My limerick bed has been made
They know I'm from Adelaide
Are you a Melbourne kid
Or from Perth or Syd
Or an Adelaide guy by trade

I guess it quite rude SnoozyQ
If i failed to respond to you
Your welcoming poem
Made me feel quite at home
So a big thank you i must do

SnoozyQ

Nah , not rude at all Pedro
Posts , they come and go
Can get lost in the mix
From here and betwixt
We poets just go with the flow :-)

Oh Pedro you poor sad fool,
You thought you could just take a stroll
Visit our thread
Then leave us for dead,
No dear, we now own your soul

Don't think you can tiptoe away
For our doors only open one way
You're here now, partake
Of the music we make
Let the rhythm of words hold you in sway

I too thought I'd visit this place
Looking for new friendly face
But I've been here a year
So much nicer than beer
And for poems there's plenty of space

As Courage, you could write a sonnet
Or a haiku to snoozyQs bonnet
I know you will find
Rhyme takes over your mind
(Go, on admit it- you were desperate to see what I rhymed on the last line!!!)

IWLSAST

OMG, this thread of feelings is smokin
Much better than booze or weed tokin
It's such a great way
and outlet to say
that we're not still quite as broken

Thank you for all these cool reads
just being here will help us succeed
in life and in love
and things we are tired of
or a past that has made us bleed

One boy in a room of manure
Felt as if his mind had been skewered
Living in poo is not fair
So he tore out his hair
And felt psychologically neutered

Another boy in a similar room
Didn't find him a shovel or broom
He just dug in that ****
And threw some of it
And chunk hit the wall and went boom

He got some of it stuck in his hair
It didn't seem like scat from a bear
He exclaimed, "I think
That with all of this stink
There must be a pony in here somewhere."

Elseware

Wonderful, wonderful, Zero! I'm going to start looking for that pony.....

SnoozyQ

Oh zero , you little devil
You have stooped to Toots and my level
But don't it feel good
When you write what you should
In our poems don't we all revel ;-)

Carlosssss i love when you write
Your absences give me a fright
May you always stay here
with limerick cheer
You know that we don't bite ( well not hard anyhow )

Your limericks give me a lift
To this thread you are a gift
I just want to say
A hugs coming your way
A big one and it wont be swift ;-)

Elsie my love how are you
I know you were feeling quite blue
I come here each day
To read what you say
A sweetheart you are thru and thru

So to all of my limerick friends
A new poem begins as one ends
I know i have said
It's my favourite thread
I know we will always be friends

I love you all

Elseware

Well, this made me think of all of us.....and isn't it true?!

One day I went to a massage therapist
Maybe I shouldn't tell you the rest
But the whole damn time
Instead of feeling sublime
I strained to prevent an odiferous fart fest

zerothehero

The eye of a rainbow turned and bowed
Peering down and into my soul from a cloud
A tear dropped from the sky
A true gift from on high
Anointing the mindfulness I had vowed

Sorry for my tardy retort
When you were rhyming like a good sport.
New South Wales is with pride
the place i reside
But were both Aussie's mate, in short.

Sausage rolls, meat pies and such
Is our typical average lunch
Washed down with cheers
but definitely not beers
Were a painfully ordinary bunch.

But we do live a life side by side
Filled with good old Australian pride.
I'l be glad to stand together
And gang up on whoever
Tries to match us with limerick snide.

So my new Adelaide friend its your day
To put out your best Aussie spray
just take your time
with your Adelaide Rhyme
And blow them all away!

Aussie Aussie Aussie

Toots i see where i went wrong
To think i could post then abscond
Its addictive this thread
Rhymes take over my head
Now i cant keep away from here long.

Ipanema

To All,

I was just crusein by,
feelings of loss and sadness
And the humor lifted me high
Before

IWLSAST

((IP)), sorry that you are feeling sad.
Yet happy that coming here made you glad
What is this loss
or bridge you must cross?
you can put in on our collective shoulder pad

Ipanema

Thanks IWLSAST.

I must have not finished my last post...sorry about that.

There are goings on in my family that makes me believe I must remove myself from certain family demands of me. I have to protect my Sobriety at all costs. I'm sure others have been in this situation before. I can't control anyone else, only myself. I am getting too old. almost 69, to deal with this. It feels much better to post this and, again, many thanks!!! Have a great day! Ipanema

One time I went on a diet
Cabbage soup- I recommend you don't try it
Bad side effect was
The flatulence it caused
I'd go off like a rocket- and not quiet

Anyhoo at this time I was poor
Money went through the bottle shop door
In return for a favour
A friend thought I'd savour
A massage, my first, I assure

The lass said my shoulders were tense
Said my stress levels must be immense
Poor lass didn't know
That if I started to blow
At best she would loose all her sense

For a build up of wind I could fear
Was enormous and drawing near..
.. To exiting my arse
Was no end to this farce?
Would I kill this girl who seemed quite dear?

Luckily I never blew
And the masseur, she never knew
How close she had been
To terror unseen
And I didn't run down the street- I flew

For finally free I let rip
And my feet from the pavement did slip
I lifted from the floor
As my rear end roared
I almost did a backflip!

( I swear all but the last line is true! To this day I have no idea how I held it in!!!! Strong drink and therapy had helped me put this unfortunate episode behind me.... Thanks Zero for the reminder!!)

SnoozyQ

Oh TOOTSIEEEEEEEE hahaha

You really do crack me up .

That was brilliant and so funny

zerothehero

My sister does massage. She could tell some stories. And therapists get gassy, too.

Ipanema

Wonderful story..and I will tell one of mine, sorry if I already told it:

I was called into the boss's office on a serious computer support problem involving Payroll. On the way there I could feel a big one generating up but thought I could hold it. We decided to try another fix to the problem, after what seemed like a forever discussion. I was holding this one like no other before. He then sent me back to my office and just as I turned to walk away, whooshhhee! there it went as I was leaving the office. I coughed really had to cover this and another flew out from the big cough. I was so red when I returned to my desk that my coworker asked me what was going on. I mumbled something about calling someone right away and felt flabberhasted all day.
There was nothing I could say or do to remedy the situation. And now my face is getting red just writing this...LOL.....Question: Do I owe my boss a long ago Amends???
