Holiday Limericks

Cute ghosties and witches are seen
And monsters are part of this scene
Here it’s called ‘Hop Tu Naa’
It’s quite easy to say
We never say it’s Halloween!

Each Thanksgiving I eat beef jerky
Thus saving the life of a turkey
Someone killed that poor cow
So I’m sobbing hard now
And moving to vegan Las Kerky!

Terry Flood Date: 11/7/2024 4:43:00 PM I don’t get how a Tuna can have one leg. Always turkey for me at Christmas… and for days afterwards, by which time I don’t want to see another turkey… till next Christmas. Enjoyed your holiday limericks, Jan. Terry Login to Reply

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 11/2/2024 3:20:00 AM i have stopped eating red meat, it seems to have an adverse effect on me but eat everything else. My Neurologist stopped my previous medication and put me on one whose one side effect is weight loss, so I happily munch all day long. As for Halloween, well what happened in its aftermath my next poem, is another gruesome bloody story . Fantastic limericks dear Jan, hugs blessings Jennifer Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 11/3/2024 5:04:00 AM I will pop by and read Jennifer:-) hugs Jan xx

Hilda Greenhough Date: 11/1/2024 7:43:00 PM Vegan works. And a clear conscience too. I enjoy both limericks. Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 11/3/2024 5:03:00 AM thanks Hilda, I couldnt think how else to end the poem lol:-) hugs Jan xx

John Read Date: 11/1/2024 9:21:00 AM Although Halloween is now through, A happy Hop Tu Nah to you, I'm sorry mate, if I'm a little late, I was just finishing my Irish stew. Login to Reply John Read Date: 11/3/2024 6:34:00 AM Hi agree Jan, you cannot beat a warming stew with dumplings on a cold winter's day, wish you well with your book. Xx Jan Allison Date: 11/3/2024 5:02:00 AM I'd prefer Irish stew over turkey any day or a nice beef stew with dumplings!:-) I'm so excited, I've got the book cover design almost finalised - the guy is a genius at interpreting my wishes!:-) hugs Jan xx

Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 11/1/2024 7:47:00 AM Dear Jan, Being a Vegan, this was a very humorous and enjoyable read. How could it not be a winner? Maybe Vegan Jerkey!

Lin Lane Date: 10/31/2024 3:31:00 PM What a fun song, and candy and cupcakes for a reward. Thanks for the video and the great Limericks.

Tom Cunningham Date: 10/31/2024 3:22:00 PM Your well into the holiday mood Jan, shame about the turkeys and cows, it amazes me how the IOM has its own culture. Watching the video reminded me of the wicker man yikes. Tom Login to Reply Jan Allison Date: 10/31/2024 3:25:00 PM yes own culture, own currency, own parliament - definitely unique! Ive not watched all the video lol i am not a fan of this celebration but lots do like it. hugs jan xx
