St Patricks Day Contest (sticky)
Make up a blessing (or limerick) & submit it via comments. The best one wins a prize. Deadline: March 7. Read for more info.
Two examples below. I’d prefer you make it up yourself, if you can - that’s the fun part!
As you slide down the banister of life,
May the splinters never point in the wrong direction!
Being a judge is hard with a large number of great entires (i.e. the Valentine’s contest). This time the readers of this site will vote on a winner. I will take a few entires and input them in a poll and you will vote for the best in the poll. Once the deadline to enter arrives the poll winners from previous weeks will battle for #1.
Here’s to a long life, a merry one
A quick death and an easy one
A pretty girl and an honest one
A cold beer and another one!
*Prize is via snail mail -so if you win, you must be willing to provide me with a mailing address to receive the prize. The prize will be a small token of thanks and warm wishes for St. Patricks Day from yours truly and that is all that matters.

Well, I have a funny toast that I do with my really good friends but it isn’t very appropriate. It is definately Irish (since that’s half my heritage). So I will think up another one, but for now you can have this one:
“Here’s to you, and here’s to me.
The best of friends we’ll always be.
And If we should ever disagree,
then fuck you and here’s to me!”
Like I said, it’s one of those fun but rude drinking things.

The only limerick I’ve ever written…
There once was a man from Nantucket
Who got his head stuck in a bucket
He pulled and he pried
It stayed though he tried
So finally one day he just said…
Me Irish blood is not proud, I must do better.

I am not good at those things, but I’ll try to come up with one…Can I submit one in German - we like to drink beer too

There was a boy from St. Peters,
Who stood less than a full meter,
He played all day long,
Outside in the sun,
And came in ahead of the skeeters.

I really would love to write a limerick and leave it….I’m a little stunned at the moment…but hey, your little St. Patty’s Day clipart is making me want to go on an “Anna McGoldrick’s Musical Tour of Ireland”…we’ll kiss the blarney stone…Top o’ the mornin’ to ya!

There was a young lady who sang songs.
Who smiled as she played to the throngs.
When we danced with much joy,
You became my love toy,
And our love did right all our wrongs.
That’s my best shot at it! LOL

Would it be out of the contest’s spirit to say:
I thought and I thunk
But my lymericks stunk
If only I weren’t this drunk
??

This is going to take some brain power…

What is a day for St Patrick
we don’t know here in Sweden
Maybe to turn this blog TNChick
in to the bloggers Eden…?
Sorry, no good at limericks,
not even for St Patricks.

I’m too braindead for this one, but have a nice weekend TNC. You guys take it easy.
TGIF!

Of course I have to do this.
There once was a leprauchan named Sean
A handsome young fellow but shy and withdrawn
One night he met a fair maid named Colleen
And now Sean is happier than he’s ever been
For he and Colleen make love from dusk till dawn

Yay to reformatting! I do that every 6 months. It takes all weekend, but makes me feel so much cleaner as a result!

I swear I didn’t steal your contest idea for my “Giving Away Good Lei” contest at my site! I choked when I saw this!
Heck, I didn’t even realize the corralation between March and my contest until I saw this. I simply wanted something fun for everybody to participate in and enlisted the help of my friend Tricia to come up with a contest idea before we left for Disneyland! lmao…….wow.

The was a lady with a blog,
Who had to go walkies with her dog.
Though with fun on the screen
She left ‘cos it was mean.
And went out in the cold and the fog.

I met this pretty girl at church camp one summer.
Thought I was from that movie dumb and dumber.
She showed me how to change my way.
Then she married me one special day.
Now she claims that her life is oh so much funnier.
