Okay, okay, so I cheated a syllable with an apostrophe. Sue me.

These lim'ricks I write each month's First,

for some levity quenches my thirst.

It's my humble attempt

(though my rhyming's unkempt)

to stop "ism" from doing it's worst!

When considering guilt and/or shame,

people think that they're one and the same.

If you did something bad,

that's behavior my lad,

not identity that you should claim.

When relapse is under discussion

don't act like they're speaking in Russian.

"Some Liquor I Planned"

is SLIP's covert demand

keep it secret and soon you'll be lush'n!

There isn't much more to be said.

If you drink then you'll likely be dead.

Sadly for you

we'll just offer help to

some other newcomer instead.

These lim'ricks I wrote like a dope,

Are to stop you from having a mope.

Through a message phonetic

(and yes somewhat frenetic) 

is experience, strength and some hope!

Even Evil Old Cat went "awwww" when she saw that picture.

But then she coughed up a hair ball, just to keep her street cred intact.

When I read what you posted today
I smiled and decided to say:
You are such a wit
But never a twit
I'm glad that I checked in today.

Sorry, best I can do in 20 seconds (the shower beckons me, another day sober! What a wonderful gift!)

Happy April Fool's Day, Mr. Sponsorpants! Hope your day is filled with smiles!

[Jessie]

Thanks I smiled!

I had to smile too. I need to curl my lips today in an upward direction.
