Six-Word Couplet Series
Valentine Humbug
Home all alone.
Sit and groan.
In a St. Patrick’s Day Pinch
Wore no green
*Pinch felt mean.
Easter’s Glad Tidings for Lambs
Forget the lamb.
Let’s eat ham.
Labor Day’s for ALL?
No work off
while bankers scoff
The Halloween Boogie
It’s no mask.
Please don’t ask!
The Thanksgiving Whine
Turkey got burned.
I got spurned.
Christmas Blues
Had a rift. . .
Where’s my gift?

* One person mentioned they did not understand the Pinch in the second verse. For some reason, in the United States there exists a strange custom that if one's friend is not wearing green on St. Patrick's Day, you may pinch him!
