Well, Christmas is over (I hope you all had a good one) and so the countdown to the New Year is on. So my challenge for this week is:
New Year Resolutions
Limericks, poems, short stories… I’d like to see anything and everything!

Hi Esther, With respect, I’m sending you a couple of examples of my poetry. I love writing;: full stop, but seem to be an eclectic.Some of my poems are ‘little stories’ – hope you approve.
BREAKING THE SAMENESS
She knew she shouldn’t be there…
He – eyes like a Spanish summer sky –
ravished her with an
avalanche look
she would remember for ever.The Jacob’s coat he wore,
pungent aroma of white spirit;
alien glances of Bohemian friends…
brushes, assorted,
laid in an orderly row –
like hairy soldiers waiting to
go on duty –
intruded on the dusting,
the washing-up,
the ironing.Perhaps those eyes
would ravish her again
tonight….
She smiled and basted the
lamb.
Joy LennickFAT LADY FROM CHEAM
There was a fat lady from Cheam
who dreamt a ‘chocolate cream’ dream.
Then, with calories loaded,
she simply exploded,
and never again was she seen.THIN LADY FROM CHEAM
There was a thin lady from Cheam
who wrote much graffiti, obscene…
She was caught in the act,
with her tools all intact,
and was told quite severely, ‘Now clean!’Joy Lennick
I don’t know if you can use them? If you like – by all means do.Thank you! Best wishes.

Thank you, I’m delighted, and look forward to seeing them on your blog. .Here’s another ‘Quickie’:-
THE BEST PILL OF ALL
A course of drugs?
A placebo, maybe?
Or just a funny rhyme?
On consideration and rumination,
the latter will be just fineJoy Lennick
Cheers!

I resolved to give up the booze
But I’ve got the January Blues
A large G and T
Cries ‘Drink me, drink me!’
It’s an offer I can’t refuse -
