Holiday Humour Limericks Contest Sponsored by Tania Kitchin 10/31/24

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!

Congrats, Jan. Sorry, but you didn’t save that turkey… I just had a slice of him in a sarnie. Apologies.

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

The second one is super clever and I learned something In limerick 1 that I did not know about your part of the world

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

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.

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

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

Dear Jan, Being a Vegan, this was a very humorous and enjoyable read. How could it not be a winner? Maybe Vegan Jerkey! Autumn Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

I've pondered (as a vegetarian) the fact that eating a cow rather than a chicken (or frogs legs!) feeds many more haha ahh those turkeys though, they never know which way to vote. Good luck in the contest x

What a fun song, and candy and cupcakes for a reward. Thanks for the video and the great Limericks.

Thanks Lin, the trick or treaters are supposed to sing to get sweet and there are different variations of the song around the island:-) hugs Jan xx

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
