Laughing Along With A Limerick

Here’s your Monday smile – it’s limerick time. Send in your own or here’s a prompt for you –

FRIEND

Here are a few limericks to make you smile this Monday. The prompt last week was WHIFF.

Keith Channing:

Wills made a ciggy called whiff,

Hellish strong and an unusual niff.

I tried one in France,

Fell into a trance;

Forget it – I’ll stick with a spliff.

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

A strong whiff of Stilton cheese

I love it I’m easy to please

But mouldy old cheddar

Is much worse, not better

As the smell wafts off in the breeze.

Paul Mastaglio:

Standing by the cliff

Was a little old man named Griff

Not sure what he was about

But when I went to shout

I caught an almighty whiff!

Kim Smyth:

There once was a young lad named Bif

Who stunk if you got a good whiff

He went au-natural

Using only shower gel

Unfortunately, since he worked on a skiff!

Trent’s World:

A girl once entered my room

I got a whiff of perfume

She wasn’t lent

A heavenly scent

Just the smell of my impending doom.


To be famous would be bad

A whiff of scandal and you’re had

Vultures above

Showing no love

Telling stories so sad.

Jael Stevens:

Amid holidays air carries whiff

Of all things yummy—take a sniff!

And neighbors are very generous

Sharing their kitchen-baked treats delicious

So, you’d better behave…don’t provoke a tiff!

Chrissieart02:

His wife smelled him smoking a spliff

She knew it from just one whiff

I don’t like it, she said

The kids are in bed

And both parents had an almighty tiff.

Sarian Lady:

She leaned over the fence for a whiff.

The neighbours were having a tiff.

Oh, my sausage and burgers,

I hope there’s no murders,

And leapt over the fence in a jiff.

Sharon Tingle:

Completely still she lies.

Seemingly asleep is just her guise.

Suddenly, one ear flips up and eyes pop open,

The whiff of an intruder … a sign? An omen?

With speeding four-legged bounds, gleefully snags she his thighs.

Val Fish:

All it takes is a whiff of ‘J’Adore’

To whisk me back to May Seventy-Four

At the altar, a bride

And stood by my side

My wonderful Cheri Amour.

  1. I once had a really good friend
    Twas a thing I thought never would end
    But when he shaved his beard
    He looked totally weird
    Like a pig, or at least its back end.

  3. Faye was my very best friend-
    On that, we could always depend-
    Until that sad day-
    She moved far away-
    Now tethered by phones til the end.

  4. I thought you were my best friend
    But when you asked me to lend
    You a thousand pounds
    To buy a pair of hounds
    I knew our friendship must end!

    Can you comprehend
    What I intend
    Be a listening ear
    When you want someone near
    To be your friend.

    Cheers Paul 😁

  7. CALL for help, a friend.
    Don’t wait till the end.
    Friend in need is friend indeed.
    Remember friends for good deed.
    Don’t delay the discord to mend.

    We have been together for decades
    Sharing secrets and championing charades
    A good friend you remained
    Until you acted quite deranged
    Accusing me of stealing those marmalades.
