For Jan - a Collaboration

A Tribute to Jan Allison, I miss her on PS!


There's a sweet woman I know as Jan,
a valued member of the soup clan.
Her limericks are the best,
Poop humor above the rest!
Her long absence has been a sad span.

 By Tania Kitchin


Jan's bathroom humor could fill a bedpan
Gross images one poet tried to ban
Jan bravely stood her ground
She's missed when not around
I'll send her a note to the Isle of Man

 Written by Jenna Logan


Ah, dear Jan, I miss you so much
Your poop poems, laughter, and such
Our limericks can’t compare
With yours from way over there
You have that extra special touch!

 Written by Milt Hankins


There's a good friend of ours missing from soup
Nearly three months now has been out the loop
So hear us dear Jan
Get back when you can
And write us about flatulence and poop...

Written by Tom Cunningham


Has Jan abandoned Soup's family tree
or is she binging on a shopping spree
Her potty lines are missed
I hope she won't resist
Our pleas to come back by poet's decree

Written by Lin Lane


Without her bawdiness we ain’t got Jack
And Soup creek’s needing Jan’s Allison’s craic
Such a cheeky girl
Our Isle of Man pearl
I’ll mind her front, bit dodgy at the back

Written by David Kavanagh


Jan’s bathroom humor I adore
it leaves me wanting so much more
fragrant potpourri should quell
her excreted gastric smell
for goodness sakes Jan, shut the door!

Written by Linda Alice Fowler


So why Jan is missing from Soup
If you know keep me in the loop
It’s quite clear to me
I’m sure you agree
It just isn’t Soup without poop

Written by Terry Flood


Pray that it’s only a flash in the pan
That Jan will soon be back in the soup clan
There’s none can outsmart
Her humorous art
Without comedian Jan it’s deadpan.

Written by Belle Bellevue


Jan's bathroom limericks really stink
Maybe she went off to visit a shrink
She'll give me a slap
For giving her crap
It's all in good fun, I say with a wink

Written by Mark koplin


Jan is kind, and a whiz with a pun
She'll speak out when a wrong has been done
Whether fun or sublime
She brings smiles every time
For her talents are second to none

Written by John Watt


A dear friend since I first came to soup
but condemned when she wrote about poop.
Jan writes lots of great stuff,
and for me, that's enough. 
'cause it's poop that you don't have to scoop.

Written by Andrea Dietrich


She gives us lims of the loo
And writes some bawdy ones too
Come back as soon as you can
And share your humor dear Jan
Whether number one or two

I think Jan has gotten really busy. She still keeps up with me from time to time. I miss our long chats, Jan, if you are reading this. I will give my silly limerick to Tania if she wants to add it here.

I miss her here too, Tania. It was wonderful of you to do the blog for her. I was preparing to go out and run errands, but I hope to come back here and add to the collab. Thanks for what you are doing here!

I do, too, and although we keep in touch, it's not the same when she's not posting her bathroom humor. Are you wanting limericks about her added to yours? If so, I'll soup mail you one.

I have been in touch with her as well but it's not the same as having her on PS!
