Sometimes I feel like I'm alone , that I'm the dog without a bone
I went on out with my 2 girls , I'm not at ease , fingers twirl
I feel an outcast is their presence , once I had the effervescence
It's all too hard to try be me , this latest slip has got me ,see

Nothing that I do in life makes me happy mum or wife
I feel I have to force the grin came easy once now is thin
How do I get old me back I feel like old horse I'm a hack
I'm struggling with sincerity I want it back I just want me

Snoozy I know how you feel,
Lost and a little uneasy.

My sobriety didn't come easily
Without booze nothing appealed to me.

I felt bored, lifeless and dull
Lost in a fog of gray and wool.

I was an opaque shell of myself
Floating without knowing where to dock

The 12 steps provided motivation,
relief, comfort, and inspiration.

Slowly I'm finding my compass
It's nothing I ever would guess

The most important thing I think
Is to not take that first drink

From there get quiet and listen
To the direction your hear leads you in.

Glee that's such good advice
Why do I second guess twice
I literally have to think
Just don't pick up that drink
It's an evil nasty vice

Dear limerick friends I hope you'll be happy to read:
Two years ago, I gave up smoking weed
It's hard to believe how long it's been
I can remember the day I did begin
Smoking then wasn't a 'want' it was a 'need'

Now I know what it's like to be free
Back then I was driven by curiosity
I just wanted to know what it was like to be clean and sober
I wasn't sure then that my smoking days were over
But I've learned this is a better way to be

Week by week, things started to improve
I started to get into a recovery groove
Early on, things were so tough
It's a miracle I stuck to this sobriety stuff
Now things are just going so smooth

I really have come so very far
Now I've got money in the bank and a new car
I show up and work hard at my job
And what rhymes here? Sponge Bob!
When it comes to living, I've raised the bar

Now I'm looking ahead
To find the next road that I'll tread
Dreams are within reach
I'm going to buy an RV so I can camp at the beach
And leave behind the yard work I so dread

I'm looking forward to life on the road
A motor-home, with my car towed
I'll get to travel around
I'll be out of this nowhere town
Time to wave good-bye to my current abode

Sending congrats to my friend, DG
For 24 months - no weed did she
Now instead of the munchies,
Her food isn't junkie
It's Whole 30 with a cup of tea!

Haha, sorry for such a poor rhyme...out of practice.

Regardless, congrats on that milestone and your future plans for a life on the road!

i've learned a lot so far this year
about letting go of want and fear
six months ago i couldn't walk
the meds made it hard for me to talk
then nerve damage done jacked up my junk
it's all connected - whodathunk?
but today i hiked for almost an hour
at 12,000 feet on a mountain of flowers
so grateful to just be on my feet
two surgeries now and i'm almost complete
or i guess i have been all along
despite the booze and drugs and bong
no more running from what i fear
i stair it down and hold it near
until at long last it's mostly gone
like holding onto the summer dawn
the fears all pass as all things do
like desires and cravings and me and you
there is no need for fear and loathing
it brings me peace that i'll be nothing
or everything i'm not quite sure
but death will make us new and pure
until then life is what it is
don't want or need what's hers or his
que sera sera what will be will be
and did i mention that now i can pee?

Higher Power please bless Snoozy
She's got the blues and they're a doozie
I pray You bless her with your presence
Asap please help her get back the effervescence
Dear Snoozy it's happened, it's cunning
And as fast as a slip comes it's running
And HP please give Snoozy a great relief
A shining light to lead her way
To SR happy soon she'll stay
And bask in the love that's here for years
She's remarkable in so many ways
Surely what's done is done and here she'll stay
For all we have is today for sure
HP please make this day happy for Her
Snoozy I love you saying loud and clear
Please know that I'm praying and hold you dear.
You've lifted our spirits with laughs abound
The Limericks you write make us stronger, more sound
A happy Snoozy, free of fear you deserve
And the sooner the better you'll surely round that curve
Coming back stronger and knowing for sure
The desire to pick up one can occur
When least expected and for all it's true
And retreat like a bad dream are my hopes for you

Hello,

A bewildered young soul called Fradley,
For years dealt with booze quite badly,
Then, with friends from SR,
He eschewed bottle and bar,
His poetry still sucks though, sadly.

i once met a man with more than one anus
his trips to the can were seriously heinous
but two are now one
since the surgery's done
so he'll never again complain to us


Y'all better start waxing poetic, or I promise you, I have more where that came from (that being my twisted mind) if you fail to deliver!!! Boooaahhh Ha Ha Haaaaa!!!

Okay, so I admit that was over the top, but it's actually true. I was hitchhiking and this guy stopped and asked me to drive. He was having difficulty driving post-op, so he had me drive and I got to listen to the whole story for the next 100 miles. Lucky me. And now, LUCKY YOU! Booooaahhhh Ha Ha Haaaaa!!!

Do you know the vampire, Count Flatulence?
He counts every fart that seeps from his pants.
First one and then two,
three, four, five and pee-ew!!!
When he reaches eleven he breaks into a dance!


(That one isn't true, or at least I sure hope not.)

i know an old man who is actually nine
his sense of humor is less than refined
if he tells you a joke
you might gag or choke
don't risk it if you're fixin' to dine

i failed i failed
i didn't scare anyone
the poets are asleep
new poems there are none
perhaps my method scared them off
like a naked David Hasselhoff
or a gargoyle made of flesh and bone
so i sit here waiting all alone

Two years, four months and a few odd days
Since I put down the booze and came this way
I remember the way things were back then
Each sober day, even each hour felt like a win
Now the days slide by quick as santa's sleigh

I wake upon the morning now , wondering who why and how
When did this happen was it overnight , insidious bastard my insight.
You crept you stalked you taunted me all I wanted was just to be
You lingered long & I was down and out, problem solved stop that pout

I have with me some liquid gold gold a pure essence to behold
You'll feel so good you'll want some more come with me be my *****
I'll take you to places you've never seen feel so good no in between
Alas you lied once again you're full of lies you are no friend

You made me think that I could be happy again wait and see
It's all a crock it's all a lie this story you tell will make me die
No it won't just have a sip it's euphoria upon your lip
Ok I say why not just one my story now it's just begun.
