Christmas Limerick

Christmas limerick to honor my friends.
Do a handstand, but skip the knee bends.
We are getting old
Holidays are gold
Please enjoy them to their bitter ends.

When the children get to be too much
Put them on your laps give them the touch
But I’m forty-three
They might say with glee
Hold them harder with a loving clutch.

Cherish each moment with your loved ones.
Enjoy those buttery hot sweet buns.
Memories today
May keep gloom away
Celebrate Jesus in the pretty sun.

Once they start to oblige, they cannot stop. We have ten.

It will be in five working days for we have off school from December 21st through January 6th and this has been a trying year due to illness. I know you understand this.

I believe he was actually born in the summer months, so we may have to rethink December. Chuckle. Chuckle.
