Last week, I challenged you to write a limerick and lots of you took up that challenge. A huge thank you to you all. There were some brilliant limericks. I really don’t think I could pick a winner but perhaps you can? I promised I would publish them on my blog, so here they are. Please read them all; they’re fantastic. Hopefully they’ll inspire you to write one 🙂
Keith Channing:
An author from far Syracuse
was commissioned to write for his muse.
Just writing his blog
was enough of a slog,
but he couldn’t afford to refuse.
Tom Orchard-Webb:
There once was an elephant from Asia,
Whose trunk would bloody amaze ya;
It was two-hundred feet long,
And when he whistled a song,
It was heard from Moscow to Malaysia!
Phil Ireland:
I looked at my wife on a whim,
Offering an appealing grin,
Shot down with a stare,
That said don’t even dare,
I knew she would never give in.
D Mauldin:
An essential oil, such as, Lavender,
Is something I would order,
A bunch of, a truckload.
It is widely used abroad.
Lavender, I completely surrender!
Easter Ellen:
I sat with my pencil and paper
Creativity gone like a vapour
Then thoughts came in a flurry
As my hands rushed to hurry
My task now a delightful, new caper
A Second one from Easter Ellen:
When my soul hit the depths of its hell
I hid; cocooning myself in a shell
I found paper and pen
Healing balm in this zen
Writing by faith, I am heading to “well”
Eddy:
There once was a poet named Dave
who lived near the cliffs in a cave
searching for a rhyme
he slipped on some slime
and fell to his watery grave
Susan Irene Fox:
There was a pert blogger named Esther
Who challenged her readers to best her.
“A limerick,” she enticed,
“to pump up the spice;
“the cleverest will be the winner.”
Christopher Farley:
A wannabe writer called Chris
Left Old Blighty to live with the Swiss
Upon crossing the mountains
he discovered, just like fountains
words started to flow, not just drip.
