   If it weren’t for this limerick thread
   I’d be drowning in annual holiday dread
   The relatives are coming
   While a tiny drummer sits drumming
   And singing repetitive carols in my wee head
   
   I actually think holidays are crazy
   Why celebrate only once a year, are we lazy?
   Celebrate every day
   With a huge party, I say
   This way you’ll stay happy, if a bit hazy!

      Joy, what a beautiful tribute,
      The love we must really distribute.
      Ernest would be proud
      He'd be screaming aloud:
      "More limericks, please all do contribute!"

   His granchildren were mentioned each day,
     He would stop hubbing juct to watch them play.
     Then come back to the screen
     Tell all that he's seen
     And we would laugh at the things they would say......
   
     A huge hug to all the grandchildren, that are missing a special grandad.xxx

   Oh Earnest, I've got to weigh in
   Tho' BO says aetheist love is a sin
   I never made it Down Under
   Guess that was my blunder
   Miss and love you, oh Earnest, my friend.

   earnesthub has gone and left us...It's a true pity...
   Though he left us with many a word...that was witty...
   His words will live on through the ages,
   As remembered fondly upon this Hubpages,
   A part of him will always be seen in each little ditty!

         Thanks...Best to you, friend...through your sad and happy recollections!
         
         "How wonderful to see what someone meant to us in our day to day busy lifes."
         (Sounds like something...a poet ought to say at this time )
         
         I think earnesthub's memory will resonate upon Hubpages...for a long, long time...and show us just how much someone can be missed...that we shared a couple of good puns with...

   There once was a man from down under
   Whose wit, wisdom and warmth were a wonder
   We counted on him 
   And his light-hearted grin
   To relieve the dull drone and loud thunder
   
   When talk grew monotonous or heavy
   With a post he would always levee
   The stupid, the dim
   The hopeless or grim
   With a word to the wise and some levity. 
   
   If car questions you had you could not miss
   When asking Earnest to check on your list
   But his best hub perhaps
   Which drew the loudest laughs
   'Does my butt look big in this?'
   
   Manly, mythical and marital advice aside
   Earnest was a man of deep yet modest pride
   His friends he all moved
   Cherished family he loved 
   It was hard to hear the news that he'd died. 
   
   In his sleep we are told and are thankful to know
   Surrounded by family whom he did love so
   He journeyed forward into "cosmic being"
   A final fantastic earth-bound freeing
   We all stopped and jealously cried no! No... 
   
   But posterity would have him
   Though if we could we'd grab him
   And have him in the forums every day
   Where he'd keep up the good fight
   And turn the tide of wrong towards right
   With his young ones home around him safe at play.
   
   But he is gone and we must find it within us
   To keep his legacy alive through the lessons he left us. 
   To be true, to be honest, a fair dinkum mate
   To reject the poison, to defy the hate
   To return darkness with light, and grievance with laughter
   To embrace life now and leave to itself the here-after
   To have real respect, to call opponents a friend
   To never give up, and to fight to the end
   This is the legacy he left us, the importance of being Earnest. 
   
   We will never forget him, he meant too much to us
   But he wouldn't like all these tears and the fuss
   Reason it out and he'll be there
   Love an enemy and we'll see there
   That his time spent with us meant so much
   
   In the style of limericks true
   Earnest is in me, and he might be in you
   And to be on the level
   He was a right handsome devil 
   And the wickedest angel I knew.
