James Marshall Goff Poet Limerick

Holiday Tag! Doris You'Re It!

Where have you been! you silly man!
don't blame it all on tryptophan! 

Maladies from Malta mutATE and Gur G....itate!
as Jimbo watched the Vikings dominate!

It's true my kind heart is totally fake!
football first sweetheart!.... hope your fever breaks!

Dear Charma, you've got snow! make an ice-pack!
it's almost halftime!...... then I'll be back!

And if you grow weary of my  attitude!
I'll level a few notches, and be a sweet dude!

The Ref blew his whistle!.... #4 is quite grand!
our sinking tag-poem is back on dry land! 

So without much ado!
no need for a chorus!

I tag you my friend, Miss Culverhouse! Please Doris!

(Phyllis tagged John, John tagged DaneAnn, DaneAnn tagged Charmaine, Charma tagged me! and I tag Doris!)

Carolyn Devonshire December 2, 2009 at 12:15 PM Oh, my, Jimbo! What a clever tag. I saw the last Vikings game and beamed with joy, as I know Karen O'Leary did as well. And Brett Favre is too macho to blame it all on Tryptophan! Awesome write! (And to think you finished it during halftime-lol) Love, Carolyn

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen November 30, 2009 at 4:17 AM This is too much fun! LOL Football or not, James Goff! You pulled it off. Despite the ball game, you played tag with great fame! And we forgive you, without much adieu, that you put us off for a minute or two. For with great style as you usually do, you wrote this well. Good for you! Thanks for joining in the fun, you're the man. Lovingly and with great laughter, Dane Ann
