Laughing Along With A Limerick

Happy Monday! It’s limerick time! Send in your own or here’s a prompt for you –

JEST

Here are a few limericks to make you smile this Monday. The prompt was SULK:

Keith Channing:

“Stop sulking,” my mother would say

“You’re not going to get your own way.”

It’s not often the case

That a frown’s on my face

Never more than ten times every day.

Tangental:

Sweating from his considerable bulk,

Derrick descended into a sulk.

After he found his rollon

Had been wantonly stolen,

Leaving him dependent on grandma’s talc.

Ritu:

The very green Incredible Hulk

Was in an incredible sulk

Lockdown was such

He’d eaten too much

And fat was now most of his bulk.


There was a young maiden called May

Who’d sulk at her window all day

Her grumpy face

Was such a disgrace

That it frightened the virus away.

Tales From The Mind Of Kristian:

I’m in a terrible sulk

as I look at my increasing bulk,

it’s not fun at the beach

with my knees out of reach

and I look like the Incredible hulk.

Trent’s World:

Jim thought himself a great wit

But he never knew just when to quit

Until one guy

Punched him in the eye

Causing Jim to sulk a bit.



There once was a girl name Brey

Who saw the world as dark grey

She knew no light

And cried all night

Then sulked the rest of the day.

Sanandi-jacq:

A man named Incredible Hulk

Squatted down on his heels in a sulk.

His slack muscles bore witness

Lockdown had ruined his fitness

And an increase in fat and bulk.

Paul Mastaglio:

It’s not fair, it’s not fair,

You just don’t care,

You let him in but not me,

Now there’s nowhere for me to be,

So, I’ll think I’ll go home and wash my hair.

Christine Mallaband-brown:

James wound up in a big sulk.

He’d had a fight with the Hulk.

He was battered and bruised

And his mind was confused.

Because he had a lot less bulk!

John Reynolds:

There was an old man from China.

Who, suffered sometimes with angina.

He said to his mate,

What a terrible fate.

I caught it while being a miner.

  1. There was a young man, who in jest
    Got married in a string vest
    He thought she’d be seething
    Instead, she was beaming
    “A good thing that I like your chest!”

  2. Once there was a strange man who was mad
    He may even have behaved quite bad
    Rumors flew, like wildfire
    the children he did sire
    making his wife quite bitter and sad

    adding my own twist on mad
