The alpacas have decided to wear new outfits for Christmas – much cooler for those hot summer days.
Jj is for Jottings 37. A Christmas Limerick.
Of recent years it has become a family tradition to make my own Christmas crackers and, instead of those dreadful jokes you find in the commercial bonbons, I write a limerick about each person who will be present at Christmas. Here is the limerick I wrote about me in the year “Aa is for Alpacas” was published:
Sue’s finally written a book,
Using photos the others have took.
With ‘pacas in poses
And pictures of toeses,
It’s really worth having a look.
“The others” refers to my husband, David, who has five photos included in the book; my sons Antony, who did all the hard work and took most of the photos; and Kieran, who took the front and back cover photos and co-administers this page. Oh, and a friend, Edward, who took the shearing photo because the rest of us were rather busy. If you’ve read the book you’ll understand about the poses and the toeses. And if you haven’t, I suggest that you do!
