Notes About The Poem

Inspired by my friend Tom Cunningham, here are three midweek holiday limericks...

Midweek Medley - Three Holiday Limericks

~ Trick or Treat on the Moon ~

The man in the moon's really kind of neat
Every Halloween he plays trick-or-treat
   When astronauts come
   He acts kind of dumb 
"Green cheese is all I can give you to eat."



  ~ The Turkeys in Tennessee ~ 

The turkeys in Tennessee are so smart
They're never in Thanksgiving shopping carts
   They've learned how to duck
   To avoid bad luck
When the ax swings, they emit giant farts  



        ~ Christmas 'Carol' ~

Every Christmas there's a gal named Carol
Whose awful voice turns celebrants sterile
   She sings Christmas songs
   And always gets 'gonged'
Listeners don hospital apparel



    HAPPY UPCOMING HOLIDAY SEASON!

Absolutely, limerickitis is spreading. And you certainly have played an outsized role in that wonderful development, Jan! Thanks for the encouragement, and keep your distance from those explosive turkeys! Cheers, Gershon

Happy to read that the limericks got you laughing. Nothing better for whatever ails you than a little laughter. Smiles, Gershon

These are equally great, marvelous, entertaining and down right impressive. I love all three - they're great, Gershon. I too giggled out loud. I think you may have gifted giggles times 3 to all who stop on this page - what a wonderful gift. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Hmm. Perhaps these can be a 'pre-Christmas' Christmas present. Thanks for the idea, CayCay and glad you enjoyed these limericks. Smiles, Gershon

started with a snicker and then built to guffaw. "whose awful voice turns celebrants sterile" caught me completely off guard! (are they now celibate celebrants?)

Bullseye! 'Celibate celebrants.' Love it! Maybe that could be a gift for one of the 12 days of Christmas: 'Six celibate celebrants celebrating. Five golden rings...' LOL. Thanks a million of for a comment that makes me SMILE! ~ gw

Ah, yes. Laughter is surely the best medicine, along with a spoonful of sugar! ~ Married Poppins!
