SCREECH
Here are a few limericks to make you smile this Monday. The prompt was FOOL:
I felt like I needed to cool
So went for a dip in the pool
Like a bird I did fly
But the pool was bone dry
Small wonder I felt like a fool.
I eat at the ritz as a rule.
The food really makes me drool!
From canapés to icecream
Their chefs are a top team
Especially the great gooseberry fool!
John Reynolds:
There was a young man from Chad
Who at times, was a bit of a lad.
He stole a red car,
and a one-string guitar
Then, chased down the road, by his dad.
Ritu:
A young man from Liverpool
Thought he looked rather cool
Music blaring from inside
His souped-up ride
To be honest, he just looked a fool!
The town’s bully was such a fool
Driving around being cool
Or so he thought
Until he was brought
To his knees by a very big tool!
Don’t be a fool, giving place to despair
Tearing what remains of too-thin hair
Step back from life’s crazy whirligig
Before you’re forced to invest in wig
Eat big bowl of fruity sherbet, lift faith-filled prayer
Murray Clarke:
There was an old lady from Poole
Who, in lockdown, ate nothing but spinach.
When asked why she did it
She replied, ‘You may think I’m an idiot
But I assure you I’m nobody’s fool!’
