Say farewell to 2011.

Say farewell to 2011.
As a year, I would give it a 7.
No, not out of 10.
100? Maybe then.
Just hope ’12’ll get the U.S. revin’.

The residents of a remote isthmus

The residents of a remote isthmus
Know nothing at all about Christmas.
They treat one another
As sister and brother
For an entire year of blissness.

Have a Loving Christmas and a
Peaceful New Year.

At Christmas, we cruise through the night

At Christmas, we cruise through the night
To wonder at the Christmas lights.
But the light we see least
Is the star in the East,
And, somehow, that just doesn’t seem right.

We all made it through Black Friday

We all made it through Black Fridayl
Got wrist sprains on Cyber Monday.
The decorating and wrapping;
We faced without snapping.
Just wait till the bills come our way.

There once was a race called the Mayan

There once was a race called the Mayan
Who amassed knowledge witout really tryin’.
Their studies of space
Claim the whole human race
On 12/21/12 will be diein’.

You make the call!

In a day of incredible jolts
The Packers lost but not the Colts.
So now, red is green;
Being chaste is obscene,
And Novel prize winners are dolts.

Or . . .

The world has gone completely crackers.
The Colt won but not the Packers.
So now, green is red,
And Wilma is Fred,
And brussels sprouts are the choice of most snackers.

The two sides have finally seen reason;

The two sides have finally seen reason;
There will be a NBA season!
Both owner and pro
Will still get his dough,
From the wallets of the fans they are squeein’.

There’s an upside of sexual harassment

There’s an upside of sexual harassment
(Aside from the progound embarrassment).
If you play your cards right
You could spend the night
With brutish and and crude “without-class-men”.

Stop pestering poor Herman Cain

Stop pestering poor Herman Cain
There’s no need for him to explain
About his lobe affair.
Why should anyone care?
Everybody has sex on the brain.

I pity Ndamukong Suh.

I pity Ndamukong Suh.
His suspension has made him quite blue.
That so-called vicious stomp
Was no more than a romp
(At least when he does it to you).

Our head coach has a first name

Our head coach has a first name,
It’s U – R – B – A – N.
Our head coach has a second name,
It’s M – E – Y – E – R.
We’re all excityed he’ll be hear,
And if you ask us why we’ll cheer,
“’Cause Urban Meyer finds a way
To win ‘most every Saturday.”

I know it’s not a limerick, but I couldn’t resist.

Is Newt soft on illegal immigration –

Is Newt soft on illegal immigration –
A plague upon our great nation?
He’d give “legal status”
To the “long-time-here” stratus,
Which will give the GOP aggravation.

As we celebrate Pre-Christmas Day

As we celebrate Pre-Christmas Day*
We should try to remember the way
The Pilgrims carbo-loaded
‘Til they nearly exploded
Before the first trading post Black Friday.

Penn State and the Catholic Church

Penn State and the Catholic Church
Have left abuse victims in a lurch.
(Aledgely) deflecting
Anyone from deteching
Any truth that might leave them besmirched.

As these sexual scandals are briwing;

As these sexual scandals are briwing;
Our intrepid news teams are persuing
The “Who did what when?”
Asked again and again
While the victims they all are pooh-pohohing.
