Looking for victims to eat.
I won't sit at home;
I'll be on the roam,
And smile as I say "trick or treat?"

And you don't give me something to eat,
Then beware the course,

To kill you with the smell of my feet.

Intending to give us a fright.
On the door they will beat,
And they'll yell Trick Or Treat.
Then they quickly deport from our sight.

He wrapped green 'round his head,
Had his teeth painted red,
And now silly Keith is a wreath.

Her eyes were dead black;
She'd a toad on her back,
And she let out a blood-curdling scream.

Than millions of vets
Whom our mations forgets
When remembering ceases to pay...

To speed them no candles at all,
Save in girl's eyes
Shine final goodbyes
As soldiers continue to fall...
--- Tutta Gioia
No bells! Just the stutter and rattle
Of rifles and guns...
The dead's orisons, (prayers)
Whose lives have been snuffed out in battle.

Show battle as a terrible whore!
But lying histories
Do keep the mysteries
And hide all the dying, the pain and the gore.

When most folks don't work, but just play.
And yet it's called "Labor",
Parade, pipe and tabor,
Display in a most festive way.

From flag-pole aluminum stave,
But it does amuse
To think I might use
My army fatigues, old and brave.
--- Chris Papa
So that my dear country might live.
Two years of my time,
When youth was in prime,
Slipped by, just like water through sieve.
--- Chris Papa
Or take politician's charade
About "Land of the Free",
Which surely cost me
A debt that was manfully paid.

With no need for arms,
Or far wars' alarms,
Let justice and peace be their stand.

Remembrance for all
Who answered the call
By placing their lives in harm's way.

We owe an unpayable debt
To all the bravehearted,
Those valiant departed,
Whose sacrifice we'll not forget.

Advancing in war's ravaged wealds,
'Gainst tyranny's fist.
They made the resist
With Victory on all battlefields.

Wherever the point of command,
They stormed every hell,
Where heroes blood fell,
'Til God gave them rest by his hand.

We cherish the memories we save;
Of those who stand tall
In Remembrance's Hall --
By Freedom salute we The Brave!

Our own ANZAC Day,
Our young men blown away,
So that free our great land might remain.
--- Steve123
Is a focal point for us, you see.
The battle was brutal
But hopelessly futile.
I'm sure glad that it wasn't me.
--- Steve123
On the soldiers who cannot forget,
The youth of today
Laugh it off, turn away,
While the ANZAC is battling yet.
--- Steve123
But growing to manhood has taught
Me to see what they lost,
And just how much it cost,
And to give the respect that I might.
--- Steve123
We're starting a year that is new.
And if past is a key,
It's a sure guarantee,
Resolutions I keep will be few.

And I thought I could have it for free.
But, surprising to say,
On it's very first day,
It arrived at my house C.O.D.

Like early this Saturday noon.
I hope you all here
Have a Happy New Year;
I'll be back in two thousand and oon.

As I feel a bit glum,
As the holidays come,
Over friends who are no longer here.

For the upcoming year,
And in fact for this whole festive season.

And watching the girls in the mall!

And be home with me soon, won't you, dear?

From war and unease
And bird flu disease;
'S okay, though, as long as there's chicks.

We are facing a new set of woes;
Nineties folk are perplexed;
Should the decade that's next
Be the Noughties, or simply the O's?

When stars and all life rhyme sublime;
A millennium ends,
As a new one impends,
Springtime of an age truly prime.

In fond hope that great times will ensue;
Some so awestruck,
At their run of good luck,
Perhaps one of the few may be you.

With the ship of state on even keel.

With intentions quite real,
Those who know me, they just can't help grinning.

A few limericks posted to here,
More laughter, less pain,
Less weight will I gain,
More money and women and beer!

As we enter this Happy New Year.
If you think we have changed,
You're slightly deranged;
For a poem, and not us, you'll will hear.

I refuse to buy into fear.
I'll sing Auld Lang Syne,
Share a cup of wine,
And toast friends whether far or near!

Includes much slaking of thirst.
Although it's risky,
I'll chase my whiskey
With beer after beer till I burst.

And be in your heart
Always from the start,
To the end, when again the bells ring.

To the pub for a party, we leave.
There's not much to do,
Except eat, drink and feel blue,
As the New Year's too close to believe.

With a gift to be given each day.
So you see, it is true
There are only rich Jews;
No wonder -- how else could they pay?

May your feel the love
That's shared from above,
As well as the rain, snow, and sleeting.

Practiced mistletoe snogging,
Remote-control hogging,
And got some other bugger to cook.

Heed the solstice call,
At time when the earth seems near dead.

Or New Century here,
'Cause the third Milennium now's in.

And '03 is in-rushing
Giving me a concushing,
As I duck out with party horns bleating.

And stink up the place, bugger all;
I'll pinch back, at present,
And briefly be pleasant --
Good holiday cheer to you all!

To our Lord for our bountiful living.
But some folks, I have heard,
Find the whole thing absurd --
Why don't Indians indulge in Thanksgiving?

And, despite my other scrivening,
In a really big way,
I'm glad on this day
That I don't write limericks for a living.

Then I'll open my yap
Like a gluttonous chap,
And I'll stuff all the food in my face!
