It’s Monday morning and time for a limerick or two! Send in your own or here’s a prompt for you –
LOOK
Here are a few limericks to make you smile this Monday. The prompt was DARE:
A housewife from southwest Kentucky
Was locally hailed as quite plucky.
In response to a dare
She leapt high in the air.
What she landed in, she thought was lucky.
Ritu:
Old Sue, always up for a dare
Decided to shave off her hair
Bald pate now gleaming
She looked at us, beaming
“Wax and polish, that’s my new self-care!”
A woman was given a dare.
Be abundant to those in your care.
She smothered her son.
Gave her daughter the sun.
And discovered more love to share.
Paul Mastaglio:
Do you dare,
To pay your fare,
To go to another place,
To put a smile on your face,
Just because it’s there.
John Reynolds:
There was a young man from Spain
Who went on a journey by train
He went down the track
But never came back
They said it affected his brain.
I dare to dream
said the Bream
of cheese and pickles,
worth dimes and nickels,
as he slowly swam up the stream.
A gloomy, blue, plushy, young bear
‘Mongst others of rainbow-type hair,
Said, “Maybe it’s time
“We gave up our rhyme;
“After all, hardly any dare care.”
“Au contraire,” said the bear with a heart.
“They only need somewhere to start.”
Holding hands, in a line –
Grumpy joined them this time,
“Care bear stare!” They all did their part.
She grabbed life with gusto, not as a dare
Was so much better than a life unaware
To work she did go,
with an ebb and a flow
Then came home and let down her hair!
