Jim Slaughter Poet Limerick

Limerick For Saint Patrick's Day

A pre-alcoholic Irishman nearing the brink,
Was convinced by his wife he should go see a shrink.
And after only one session
He learned a valuable lesson,
He would much rather give up his wife than the drink.

Maurice Rigoler March 25, 2023 at 1:14 PM Depending on the health of his marriage, I'd say he made the right choice with his drink. / Maurice Jim Slaughter March 25, 2023 at 1:29 PM Very possibly, M. Thank you.

Fin Chuuk March 17, 2023 at 8:22 PM Lol. I’m sure after sober, he’s crawling on his knees begging for forgiveness. Nice one, Jim. :) Jim Slaughter March 18, 2023 at 9:08 AM Or maybe she's just waiting to push him over that brink. Thanks, Fin.

John Lawless March 17, 2023 at 3:16 PM Two Irishmen WALK out of a bar....no....really....IT COULD HAPPEN Jim Slaughter March 18, 2023 at 9:07 AM And most likely does...quite often. Thanks, John.

Ilene Bauer March 17, 2023 at 1:24 PM Ha! Perfect, Jim! Top o’ the afternoon to you! Jim Slaughter March 17, 2023 at 2:11 PM Thanks, Ilene. I guess we've all got a little Irish in us.
