Christmas Day 2023 Limerick

Christmas Day Limerick 2023 

Christmas Day’s done so that's that
Watching TV and growing fat
With Midwives and Menders
and a shock in Eastenders
but my favourite was Tabby McTat

Welcome

   Welcome to the South Chingford Poetry Blog! If this is you first visit, then you may wish to  view the preamble  first, to see how and why the blog was developed. If you have visited before, you may prefer to  proceed directly to the list of poems  available for reading. Some people prefer to listen to poems being read out to them, rather than reading them, so recordings have been added in some cases (the links are at the beginning). Navigation through the blog is entirely via hyperlinks, which in general appear as blue text. Just click on these to follow where they lead (on a computer, the cursor shape changes to a hand when you hover over a link). At the end of each poem, there is a "RETURN TO LIST OF POEMS" hyperlink, which facilitates moving from reading or listening to one poem, to another. Thank you to all the contributors for allowing me to post their work. Enjoy!                     ...

 The Bard of Chingford Mount wrote two "cheerful" new Limericks on his 60th birthday. they follow: Reaching 60 I will be very very old. It won't be so bad I have been told. Will soon need a new hip and knee. Have to get up six times a night to wee. And need a hat and cardigan to keep out the cold Steve Marson There is poetic licence in this equally cheerful second Limerick. He did not have a hernia, but struggled for a rhyme for laryngitis (which he did have quite badly)! ... and he did not spend the day in bed crying! Those that say 60 is just a number are lying. I am 1 year closer to dying. I have laryngitis.  A hernia that is hiatus. And will spend my birthday in bed crying Steve Marson RETURN TO LIST OF POEMS
