Limericks by Adult Day Services Participants, Continued
January 26, 2012 2 Comments
Last year, we proudly published limericks written by participants of the Adult Day Services program (here and here). A recent compilation of all of last year’s creations by ADS participants presented an additional set of limericks that we’ll publish over two posts.
Pauline
Pauline is the person to meet
Her personality is so sweet
When she takes a nap
All the town people clap
And our sunshine club is complete
Ruth T.
Ruth likes pork chops
Here in our group we think she’s tops
She goes out in the snow
Wanting to see the blower blow
She’s waiting for springtime to eat fresh crops
Rosemary
Loving to join in a game of bridge
And serve whatever is left in the fridge
Nothing that spoils
‘Cuz it’s wrapped in foil
If it’s bad she’ll throw it over a bridge
Donna
Whatever we give her she’ll like it
Even just a little bit
Donna’s easy to please
She’ll even eat cheese
Love when the house is lit
Paola
Italy is where Paola was born
She doesn’t like to toot her own horn
She likes her tea sweet
And she goes down the street
When she’s alone she is often forlorn.
Victor
Tickling the ivories is what Victor does best
When he performs he plays with zest
He’s good with a pun
And he sure makes life fun
Teaching us in what we should invest
For those with a hint from a poet
you’ll love when you write and then show it.
For often the gift
is not what you mythed,
but rather the facts as you wrote.
Keep up your good hearts, this should be the beggining of a booklet (annual) for distribution to guests, enrollees, residents and others.
Thanks for sharing.
@Ralph: Thank you for sharing. You are spot on. Adult Day Services staff did, in fact, create a booklet with poems that program participants co-created last year. To receive a copy, call ADS at 503.535.4403.
