It’s Monday morning and limerick time! Send in your own or here’s a prompt for you –
FRIGHT
Here are a few limericks to brighten your Monday:
Ritu:
I really should get out of bed
But there are so many books to be read
I’m meant to be working
Instead I’m just shirking
Inviting stories into my head.
There once was a woman from Strood
Who simply loved all the food
She’d clean up her plate
And that of her mate
Then apologise for being so rude.
I shoulda been up with the sun
But lying here is work, not fun
Books by the bed
In a pile to be read
And I’m not moving till they’re done…
There once was a doggy so needy
She sat looking with eyes that were beady
I gave her a bite
But then, with a fright
She nipped my fingers! So greedy!!
After yoga a student did ache.
Her remedy was to eat cake.
Her stomach did bloat,
So it was easy to float
But alas foiled her goal to awake!
Val Fish:
I could have said I was confused
Or a better word could be used
But I calculated
Discombobulated
Would just leave everyone bemused.
–
‘Twas a nightmare, a terrible fright
Count Dracula was taking a bite
But then I awoke
It was hubby’s sick joke
He slept downstairs the rest of the night.
