Happy New Year Limerick (Limerick-Off Monday)

Since 2013 is almost here, I’m offering you an alternative: You may write a limerick related to new year’s resolutions, using any first line. Next week I’ll present an extra award — one for the best new year’s resolutions limerick.

And now, getting back to my regular Sunday challenge: It’s Limerick-Off time, once again. And that means I write a limerick, and you write your own, using the same first line. Then you post your limerick here and, if you’re a Facebook user, on Facebook too.

The best submission will be crowned Limerick Of The Week. (Here’s last week’s Limerick Of The Week Winner.)

How will your poems be judged? By meter, rhyme, cleverness, and humor. (If you’re feeling a bit fuzzy about limerick writing rules, here’s my How To Write A Limerick article.)

I’ll announce the Limerick of the Week Winner next Sunday, right before I post next week’s Limerick-Off. So that gives you a full week to submit your clever, polished verse. Your submission deadline is Saturday at 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time.)

I hope you’ll join me in writing a limerick with this first line:

A fellow was making a list…*

or

A woman was making a list…*

*(Minor variations to my first lines are acceptable, but rhyme words may not be altered.)

Here’s my limerick:

Happy New Year Limerick
By Madeleine Begun Kane

A fellow was making a list
Of items he’d try to resist
In the upcoming year.
But he lost it, I fear:
Both the list and his will to desist.

Please feel free to write your own limerick using the same first line and post it in my comments. And if you’re on Facebook, I hope you’ll join my friends in that same activity on my Facebook Limerick-Off post.

To receive an email alert whenever I post a new Limerick-Off, please email Madkane@MadKane.com Subject: MadKane’s Newsletter. Thanks!

  4. Rich D says:

    A fella created a list
    of odds and ends he might’ve missed

    and so his jots thatted and thissed

  5. Jim Delaney says:

    A fellow was making a list

    A fellow was making a list
    of men that he thought Communist.
    It got in his head
    that Obama was red.
    With the Prez on TV he just hissed.

    He let Fox “News” ruin his hope.

    But there were “red” states too.
    He finally fled. Couldn’t cope.

  18. Jesse Levy says:

    A woman was making a list
    To the spas, she couldn’t resist

  37. colonialist says:

    A fellow was making a list,
    But not written in a firm fist,
    The list was to port –
    Drunk more port than he ought –
    And it was because he was pissed.

    For our Happy New Year! :

  43. Craig says:

    The guests had been checked off the list.
    Vows were read, bride and groom had been kissed.
    Said the priest:  “With these kisses,
    I pronounce you a Mrs.
    As of now, you are hereby dis-Miss’d.”

  44. Diane Groothuis says:

    With soda and pretzels and beer
    And my resolution
    A new Constitution
    So poverty no-one must fear.

    Thanks Bob Auler …

    Happy New Year Limerick
    by Susan

    When she finished writing her list

  100. Jamie Hutchinson says:

    And the gray evil lies,
    In truth, between -ISM and -IST.

  103. Sue Dulley says:

    But ought to avoid
    Like wrestling and dancing the Twist.

  104. Diane Groothuis says:

    The temperature’s up to the skies
    I’m bothered by insects and flies
    Am trying to harden
    And work on the garden
    But I fear I shall need a few tries.

  105. Don Fitzpatrick says:

    For the babe she would have from a tryst

    Thought again and the last name dismissed

  106. Carolyn Henly says:

    The sailor amended his list:

    “ ‘Twill be port into port that ye’ll list!”

  107. Johanna Richmond says:

    Then: “Got that, little turds?”
    The irony, sadly, was missed.

  108. Johanna Richmond says:

    Like a ship, she was starting to list
    Half in shadow and half heaven-kissed.
    Did her diet slim one
    Unaccompanied bun?
    Or is that just one hell of a cyst?

  109. Diane Groothuis says:

    Of Sinners who had to be pissed
    To that place down below
    Where the red embers glow
    On a spot where no angel has kissed.

    Cause he never could quite get the gist.

  112. Tom Harris says:

    It wasn’t his duty
    To slice folks for beauty,
    But, yes, he’d still do a decyst.

  113. Radnoft Pladzitcki says:

    For instead of Horse Bucking
    He was named Two Dogs Fucking
    Which Comedians now use with a twist.

  114. Don Fitzpatrick says:

  116. Dr. Goose says:

  118. Dr. Goose says:

    Rowed off in the murk and the mist.

  119. Dr. Goose says:

    My manager made up a list
    Of the faux pas that got me dismissed:
    “It’s most indiscreet
    To ‘sh*t where you eat,’
    And also to ‘drink where you pissed.'”

  120. Dr. Goose says:

    Congressmen made up a list
    Of tax breaks that had to persist:
    “It’d be a shame if,
    While avoiding the cliff,
    We leave out the poor lobbyist.”

  121. Mike Miller says:

    A fellow was making a list
    Of folks he might punch with his fist.
    But a man so rapacious
    For all things pugnacious
    Will not very often get kissed!

  122. rbasler says:

    My alternate entry:
    Every year a man made it his goal
    To see his team win the big Bowl,
    He’d be ever so cross
    when they suffered a loss
    And would take weeks just to console.

    My list entry:
    A woman was making a list
    of reasons to avoid slitting a wrist,
    or sitting on the edge
    of a high window ledge,
    and realized her point might be missed.

  125. Charley Simmons says:

  126. Don Fitzpatrick says:

    On checking their Back Scuttle list
    The Irish gays wiped those they’ve kissed
    New Year, more depravity
    Ben Doon & Phil McCavity
    Are now adding Knob Jockeys they missed.

  127. Don Fitzpatrick says:

    A virginal old maid wrote a list
    “I’m a hundred and never been kissed”
    So expect it would take
    A crowbar to break
    Her Hymen before any tryst.
