I Challenge You To…

This week’s challenge is to write a story, limerick or poem on the subject of:

Shopping

Last week’s challenge was to write about School. Here are a couple of the pieces you sent in:

Keith Channing sent this limerick in – on his birthday too!

There was a complete moratorium

On crooning in the auditorium

But only a fool

Would ban singing in school

Such a fine educational emporium.

Amy‘s is short and sweet:

School.

Because all the good cartoons aired on Saturday morning….

The end.

  2. Ecologically, I’m still a learner,
    I can’t seem to work the wood burner.
    I’m supposed to be chopping
    But I’d rather go shopping
    (and pretend that I’m still a wage-earner)

  3. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this week’s challenge:

    I know a young lady named Dolly
    Who stole my shopping trolley.
    She is rather witty
    And extremely pretty,
    And she stole my shopping trolley!

    There was a young lady called Hocking
    Who lost a fine silk stocking,
    In the supermarket aisle
    Which made me smile
    Though her mother found it shocking!

  5. I spent the day at the mall
    To be honest I wanted it all
    With every shop
    My accountants heart stopped
    Oh look what a beautiful shawl
