How was your weekend? I hope it was a good one. Here’s a new limerick challenge to kick-start your Monday.
Your new word is:
ZOOM
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word LUNCH in it somewhere. You came up with some very amusing limericks:
Lunch isn’t a meal that I hurry,
Unless it’s a really hot curry.
No spice that I sample
Can explain, for example
How my vision begins to go blurry.
When the body is hungry we lunch
If it gets too fat we crunch
Supplementation
Adds mineralization
In bodies we can love a whole bunch!
Cathy Wattam:
When driving, I once heard a crunch
Whilst out to meet pals for some brunch
Not ashamed to admit
The poor critter I hit
Was enough to put me off my lunch.
Liz wondered how much she’d weigh
If she skipped lunch every single day
It failed to work
Because of a quirk
That she’d snack to keep hunger at bay.
Chef aux œufs.
An egg mayo sandwich is lacking in crunch
But the Michelin Chef had a radical hunch.
He added the egg shell and fried it,
But nobody tried it,
And lost a star for being ‘out to lunch’.
When trying for names in the past,
We first thought to note a broke fast
Then, just before night,
‘Dinner’ was right;
But what of a midday repast?
He really was a “bit out to lunch”
After drinking the vodka laced punch
He fell to his knees
On a big hive of bees
And we heard a terrible crunch!
Nicola Daly:
There was a bang and a smash and a crunch,
And the young cook said, ‘I’ve a terrible hunch,
Though the smoke will fade,
From the burnt mess I’ve made,
I think we can deduce I’ve spoiled the lunch!’
Of all the gangs, the scariest bunch
Are not those who kick and punch
And rely on violence.
Rather it is the silence
Of a blue-rinsed group of ladies wot lunch.
I should have known when he said
‘Lunch is on me,’ but instead
I was shocked to learn
That in return
He expected afters in bed!
Carol Miers:
There once was a cat who liked toast
He chewed and he crunched more than most
In more of a hunch
He sniffed out my lunch
And now he would rather a roast.
Munchity crunch,
Cornflakes for lunch.
With milk and honey,
They’re on the money.
Add a banana to pack a real punch.

Haha, you’re meme! 🤣
I once had a car that went vroom!
In fact that thing could really zoom!
But soon had to sell it
My hubby it never fit
Now, I might as well just drive a broom!

The modern world makes me sick
For everything occurs too quick!
Zooming here
Tweeting there
Everything is “now” at a click

There was an old man from Khartoum,
Who invented machines in his room.
When once he was asked
His most difficult task
Said: ” a 5-speed Sudan Chair with ‘zoom'”

I zoomed up the motorway
To go to Wales for a stay
I went to Pwllheli
Which was very very
Beautifully sunny today

I wish to be never apart
The clock on the wall cannot start
The buzz of the bee
The hop of the flea
The zoom of the tick of your heart

I sat all alone in my room
Addressing my workmates on Zoom.
The whole of the meeting
Was ever so fleeting
From beginning to end… va-va-voom!

‘Your task’ said the chairman, on Zoom,
‘Was to trigger a holiday boom.’
‘Instead, it’s a shock,’
‘To find you sell rock,’
‘In the shape of the Nude Bather of Frome.’

Remember the witch from Carlisle?
Well, today she had a big toothy smile
She showed them on zoom
How to fly on her broom
And in the most fabulous style!

When anyone suggests I use zoom,
I have a sinking feeling of doom.
I am way past sixty,
My brain not so nifty,
Prefer to speak or meet in a room.
