St. Patty’s Day Limericks

Last year’s limericks were fun for us, so we decided to give it a whirl again this year. We had tons of fun doing these, so hope you enjoy them! If you have a clean limerick you’d like to share, put it in the comments!

Ode to the Celebration

When asked to join, I felt such frustration

But I said that I might

And now as I write

I do so with exhilaration!

(by Connie)

Andy 

Our apostle has a son named Andy

Who is easily coaxed with candy

But give him your ear

And wait till you hear

His revelations are quite the dandy!

(By Matt)

Madison

A woman who writes with great flair

Who crafts her words with much care

What a delight

To read her insight

About life and Christ as a pair!

(by Matt)

For Apostle David

Apostle David was a new thing to see

I used to question just how this could be

But God had a plan,

It was all in his hand

And Gateway’s the place for me!

(by Connie)

Ricky

Ricky is my own special honey

I get to spend a lot of his money

I’d marry him again

How could I not win

He would say, “Now, Connie, that’s funny!”

(by Connie)

Mrs. Linda

A woman who loves good coffee

Her ambitions for the C Team are quite lofty

A dreamer at heart

Her pen is like a well oiled part

She’s an original who can’t be copied

(by Tammy)

Dr. Matt

This is my ode to Dr. Matt

He could have written “The Cat in the Hat”

Though he lives far away

With Gateway he’ll stay

Now, only God could’ve done that!

(by Connie)

Michelle

Thanks to my new friend, Michelle

She’s getting to know  me quite well

She’s teaching me computer

Probably thinks I’d like to shoot her

But she wouldn’t want to go to …jail

(by Connie)

Ann

Ann rocks the guitar with such power

Each chord she plays causes devils to cower

Though mighty and strong

When the fight may be long

With beauty and grace she grows stronger each hour

(by Matt)

Sherrie

Sherrie is my little sister’s name

For fun and family she’s always game

She and Bev like to cruise

And take a little snooze

Look out their window, nothing ever stays the same!

(by Tammy)

Bev

Bev is really quiet snooky

If you’re around him much he’ll ask for a cookie

He certainly is a sweet treat

With a spoon and a bowl he loves to eat

But only when he thinks no one is looking

(by Sherrie)

For Mrs. Geraldine

We love our sweet Mrs. G

She’s just as pretty as she can be

With eyes big and round

A woman with a sound

She’s Apostle D’s own queen bee!

(by Madison)

Publications Team

Our publications team is off the chain

Many members we have gained

We each play a part

Doing it from the heart

It’s our vision to see many lives changed!

(by Tammy)

Celebration Team (C Team)

Oh, how I love our C-Team

Hanging with us is a scream!

We write, blog and draw

Laugh, snort and guffaw

While fulfilling Daddy D’s dream!

(by Linda)

Anessa

She has a smile that lights up a room

And a supersmart geek as her groom

A lover of tiny purses

She leads our praise team through many rehearsals

Her performance in “An Apostolic Christmas Carol” was better than any cartoon!

(by Madison)

Ricky and Connie

Our new friends are Ricky and Connie

Their smiles are so jolly and bonnie

They’re learning lots of new tricks

Sharing life in the sticks

Hey, at least we’re not in Punxatauney!

(by Linda)

The Gang

We don’t want to leave anyone out

So let’s give Ronda a shout!

Lisa, Monica, and Gay

Each share in their own special way

While Tammy, Christi and Barry round our team out!

(by Linda)

St. Patrick’s Day Fun

Okay… so just for fun, I had a limerick writing session with some of my team this week. It was really just to try to stretch ourselves creatively, and we had a lot of fun trying. Turns out limericks are pretty hard to write if you want them to actually make sense! Anyway… I hope you enjoy them! If you can come up with a CLEAN limerick to add to our list, submit it in the comments!

Coming to Gateway

Sweet and sour on a stick

Encourage the children’s tongues to lick

To get on the bus

And party with us

At Gateway for candy, music, and a flick

For Apostle David

No Yellow-bellied sissy dogs here

No Micky-Mouse filled up with fear

Gotta grow you a spine

And you better not whine

Or you won’t last around here for a year!

Our House

This is a place to be spirit-led

Where you follow God instead of your head

The love is tough

But it’s more than enough

And the best days are still up ahead!

Mrs. Linda

There was a woman so tall

Who made us all feel small

She once was agnostic

Her temper quite caustic

But now she’s not so bad at all

Back at you, Joshua

There once was a drummer named Josh

A lot of drums he did squash

A bang with a stick

And a head like a brick

My God, how I wish he would wash!
