Here’s your Monday smile – it’s limerick time. Send in your own or here’s a prompt for you –
GUEST
Here are a few limericks to make you smile this Monday. The prompt was LOOK from a few weeks ago.
It really is not a good look
To be too absorbed in your book
You think you’re so cool
Yet you act like a fool
Beware, no excuses I’ll brook.
–
So, look and enjoy, by all means
Imagine you’re still in your teens
Enjoy graduation
Then book a vacation
To Hong Kong or the Philippines.
–
And while you’re enjoying your break
Don’t forget your best-seller to take
Just don’t look astounded
If you are surrounded
By people who think you’re a fake.
There once was a girl named Pam
Whose look was sure to damn
My, oh my
When she gave the evil eye
It hit hit you with a BAM!
–
I once tried a new look
I found on the cover of a book
As all could see
It wasn’t right for me
So I was sadly mistook.
Just look at the state of my hair!
This lockdowns been really unfair
My mane has extended
Far more than intended
From the top to the foot of the stairs!
Paul Mastaglio:
At this, I had a good look
I long time, I took
I sat and thought
And came up with nought
So went back to my book.
Once I decided to look
At a cover of another’s new book
The colors so bright
The title a delight,
Yet, the story I very much mistook!
Ritu:
“Tonight, dear, I’m going to cook!”
“Dear God, I can barely look!
It’s going to be messy
But I can’t get too stressy,
At least he’s using a cook book!”
When you wake each day, where do you look?
Shamble toward kitchen for something to cook?
For true weather picture, outside your window…
Or dare peek in mirror—oh, what will it show?!
As God’s light reflects best, I seek grace in His Good Book.
Val Fish:
It was love at first sight for us two
All it took was one look and we knew
I met my Mr Right
That memorable night
And tomorrow we’re saying ‘I Do’.
