Geoffrey Brewer Poet Limerick

New Year In the Dingle

Twas New Year’s Eve down in the Dingle
 Elves and goblins began to mingle
With the gnomes and sprites
In tinselly tights
Each one claiming that they are single

Gnome-made punch from wild mushroom and berry
Made the goblins unusually merry
Then the elves and sprites
Got as high as kites
And on top of each tree was a fairy

New day dawns down in Dingley Dell
End of old era told by  a knell
Head gnome issues a call
“Health and happiness: all”
“But for God’s sake stop ringing that bell!”
