John Posey Poet Limerick

New Year's Resolution - 2012

A New Year’s resolution I made
After drinking some spiked lemonade
To someone I swore
 Not to drink anymore -
How quickly that promise did fade! (HIC}

Timothy Hicks March 9, 2013 at 2:20 PM I find New Year's resolutions very difficult to stay true to. What can you do though? You only live once... nice writing. John Posey March 9, 2013 at 2:49 PM Me too! In my time I have drank/drunk (?) my way out of countless resolutions.... Jake

Skat A January 2, 2013 at 1:11 PM I have a bag to scare the hic's away. :-). JK. a funny limerick. Hope you saved me some of that spiky lemon. *LUV~SKAT John Posey January 2, 2013 at 1:45 PM BTW.....most important that you use concentrated lemon juice... If you use the fresh squeezed you'll be flat on your keester before you know it....Jake John Posey January 2, 2013 at 1:38 PM SKAT, Sorry, I drank it all.... But it is easy to make..... You take the juice of one fifth of Vodka and add a tsp of lemon juice..... Mix well then sit down...'cause you're gonna be down very soon anyway..... Jake
