Notes About The Poem

Tania Kitchin's Holiday Humor Limerick Contest   October 31, 2024

Holiday Humor Limericks

Holidays are coming; the first is near
Halloween is a night that many fear
But the bravest ones boast
"I'm not afraid of ghosts!"
Until eerily haunting cries they hear.

There's feasting on November's holiday
Giving thanks for our blessings, we pray
But I burned the turkey
So, we ate beef jerky
On a table set in splendid array

Christmas; the holiday season of mirth
Jen partied until the time she gave birth
There was too much good cheer
We drank three kegs of beer
On New Year's Day, not a cent were we worth

Jay Narain November 1, 2024 at 11:21 AM You covered all the holidays with fun lyrics.

Daniel Henry Rodgers November 1, 2024 at 7:21 AM Dear Lin, What great limericks pointing at the highs and lows of the holidays. I always loved the Christmas Vacation movie where the Turkey is burnt to a crisp. Good Luck in the contest for you have a winner! Autumn Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel Lin Lane November 1, 2024 at 10:11 AM Thanks, Daniel. I love writing Limericks... about anything! I've never burned a turkey but the first one I cooked on my own was when I was 17. I didn't know the giblets and yucky stuff were inside the neck opening. It gave everyone something to laugh about when we sat down, and Dad started carving. I've never forgotten to remove that stuff again!

Jan Allison October 31, 2024 at 3:15 PM What a fun string of limericks Lin, I only managed to write 2 yesterday, made me smile we both used beef jerky - i've never had it and I don't eat turkey.I have a 'turd' poem about Christmas it's almost finished but as you know its been busy busy with the book, still lots to do but WE are getting there:-) hugs jan xx Lin Lane October 31, 2024 at 3:28 PM Yes, we are, Jan and I'm so proud of you for getting a second book published. Thanks for liking these limericks.

Sam Kauffman October 31, 2024 at 10:54 AM So fun, Lin! A very creative take on the contest theme, done so well! Best wishes for the contest! I especially like the "beef jerky" limerick! Blessings for each of your holidays! Lin Lane October 31, 2024 at 11:38 AM Thanks for your well wishes, Sam. These were such fun to write. I had all three written and then realized they were supposed to be humorous, so I had to do them all again.

Tom Cunningham October 31, 2024 at 7:42 AM Brilliant humour Lin, I was wondering if anyone would go down that route lol. Good luck in the contest. Tom Tom Cunningham October 31, 2024 at 3:35 PM PS, soup mail Lin Lane October 31, 2024 at 7:54 AM I just thought, "Why use only one when Tania is allowing 3?" Thanks, Tom.
