I used to write funny stuff. Limericks, funny haiku, light things. But, I had to drink to write. I can't manage a toothpaste jingle now.

Like you, I can do without it.

I think you just proved yourself wrong, Trach

There once were a bunchanuts sober
who'd rather than ditched and keeled over
would rather be straight
even if gaining weight
such is the reward of sober

My go...

There appears a man on here called Mesa
and its clear to us all that he's a
poet that don't know it
a writer that can't blow it
an artist that'll always please ya

There once was a bunchanuts sober
Who, rather than pitch and keel over
Are going on the straight
And seemingly narrow plank -
Because life is better when there's composure!

Oof. I think we need MM to the rescue. LOL

There once was a group oh so clever,
They make my recovery better
When the weekend comes round
They support up and down
And they never forget to have bacon.


I tried really hard to make bacon rhyme with clever.

I"m sure my neighbors are wondering if I've gone over the edge from the laughter going out the windows.

I can fix that limerick in two words:

There once was a group oh so clever,
They make my recovery better
When the weekend comes round
They support up and down
And they never forget to drink never

But, I miss the bacon.

Olive, I can *almost* hear it rhyme!

There once was a weekend bus
Whose inhabitants made quite the fuss
Over sinks and bacon
Yet remaining unshaken
In their sobriety efforts, a plus.

Well, that was an almost.

Coonz

When I was up camping by that big Reservoir I posted some Pix of ~1 month ago, I put up 2 nights in a Motel Parking Lot. RV Parks aren't my Gig. So, I approached the Polish Owners of a Motel, and played up Da Wife's Polish Heritage as my BS lead-in story, even though she wasn't with me. For a low, low $10- or $20-/night [I forget], I netted a nice place in a nearly empty Parking Lot, and a safe spot for my Camping Trailer while I bopped around, or went Hiking. Free Hot Breakfast thrown in, and all that. There's lots of 'illegal' Camping attempted in this Town, so ya gotta figger out someplace legit to Camp in order to not get busted in the middle of the night.

In the adjacent, enclosed Dumpster, these 2 Critters foraged starting at 10 P.M. sharp each night. Not a bad spot for them, actually. The Maintenance Guy knew to shoo them out each Friday before Trash Pick Up time. Noisy SOBs, but amusing...

P.S. ~ GREAT Limericks. One of my favorite pastimes. Along with my legendary, rude 'Roses Are Red' Greetings in B Day Cards to Palz...

Just something else one can do better sober than drunk. Solo camping in remote places.

I second that Gilmer!

Morning, afternoon, evening everyone.

Woke with a damn headache. Rare for me. Even when drinking I never had hangovers. Think I just slept wrong.

I'm ready for a good Friday.

OK... I will throw one in the mix....Meyeh

The weeknder thread makes me grin
For the fact that I gave up the gin
They may be insane
But they help me refrain
From committing yet a terrible sin
