A Single Woman's New Year Limerick

A Single Woman's New Year's Limerick

By David P. Cantrell

New year has a boisterous cheer

That we all hope to hear

   You're the one I love

   You're my snuggle-dove.

Can this be our new year?

If you know my name

And it's not a game

  Of course it can

  My new found man

If you lie it's your shame.

I do not lie

I hope to die

  Your name's no stranger

  But your face is angered

Should I fly?

No my beau

I await your show

  That I'm you pal

  Your real gal

That's all I need to know.

Watch to the ball

It's about to fall

  I'll show my stuff

  I'll not be tough

If you'll give me your all.

I think not my New Year's knight

Your silver tongue is a fright

  I'll give you a kiss

  That I hope you miss

But, home alone I'll go this night.
