The Reason for the Season - A Christmas Limerick

I hope that your Christmas is merry,
And your jolly St. Nick is hairy,
But remember the reason,
For this happy season,
Is Jesus, and Joseph, and Mary.

"And you say that you want me to wear it?"

Who purchased a new parasol
With a handle so long
That she had to be strong
Or she couldn't have lugged it at all.

Who had searched for his specs everywhere
When one dared to propose
That he look on his nose
"How do you suppose they got there?"

Who loved to tweet tweets on her twitter

And the loss of her phone made her bitter.

And the folks all give thanks for the yield

But don't take all night!
I don't like my gravy congealed.

Then fried or hashed
Or be made a potato chip, wavy.

A bird caused a hunter to flee
The boy dropped his gun
And started to run -
Who knew how tough turkeys could be?

And is gentle and smart,
So we bought him two cases of mints.

I believe in witches - do you? A Limerick

Do you believe witches are real?
Can you see them or hear them or feel?
So scoff if you must,
But my eyes I trust,
And I think that just now I will squeal!

A witch with a broom and a cat
Wears a pointed and buckled gray hat
She flies to the store
Because she needs more
Eye of newt, toe of frog, wing of gnat.

Travelled thousands of miles on a camel
No provisions he took
But for bird's eggs he'd look

The Real True Story of St. Patrick in Limerick Verse

poems for st. patricks day

Nothing but limericks I write
No subject’s too big or too trite
So here’s a true story
That isn’t too gory
About a young lad’s dreadful plight

In Scotland, did young Patrick dwell
His life was comfy and swell
Irish brigands did float
To his home in a boat
And took him to Ireland to sell

In Ireland, Pat was a slave
And he did his best to behave
He herded the swine
Till given a sign
And left without even a wave

To home, as fast as he could
He thought, was proper and good
But he had a vision
And made a decision –
Return to Ireland he would

For Patrick, this wasn’t a game
So first, a priest he became
He returned to the isle
With nary a smile
And focused on spreading Christ’s name

There were many bad serpents about
But Patrick had never a doubt
With force he did pray
Each and every day
And the devils and snakes he cast out

So party, green beer and all
But please do your best to recall
That Patrick’s the reason
For this happy season
As you finish your pub-to-pub crawl

Valentine's Day Limerick - Cupid's Arrows and Bows

He's expert with arrows and bows
Your heart's true desire, he knows
Love once invited
Will leave you excited
Your love, it then blossoms and grows.
