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 –

MOP

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

Keith Channing:

A singer called something like Donny;

Was cute, and his voice was quite bonny.

He wasn’t so flash

But made loads of cash.

I’m wrong! His real name was Johnny.

Kim Smyth:

They threw me a party at age fifty

Now the old girl’s nearing sixty

No party this year

Cause ‘Rona is here

I’ll just have to do something thrifty.

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

Win cash with our lottery

Or second prize pottery

The leaflet came

With a bingo game

No chance its just flummery!

Paul Mastaglio:

Cash, it rings a bell

I believe it did very well

It went round and round

Did that dear old pound

Until Covid sounded its death knell.

Trent’s World:

There once was a mobster named Fred

“Always pay in cash,” he said

But he used a card

Alerting Scotland Yard

And the villain wound up dead.

The Hidden Edge:

Frank, the financial adviser,

Was often seen as a miser,

He was never that flash,

With his good client’s cash,

And they were always the wiser!

Ritu:

I want to grow my stash

But I just ain’t got the cash

My book pile’s so tall

Yet I still want em all

Too many books? Balderdash!

Lance Greenfield:

Mum always told me that “Cash is Queen”

But that too much money is seen as obscene.

My Gran had other ideas of what makes wealth.

“Be happy and look after your health.”

A great lesson to learn while still a mere teen.

Sharon Tingle:

Cowboy Frank fingered his curled moustache

As he rode into the town of Nash.

His one aim: to collect a saddle-full bounty

For capturing gunslinger one-eyed Monty.

Dang! He grinned, “Dert’ll be a load a cash.”

Linking People 2003:

CASH crops like coffee, tea and cotton,

Bring cash from market unforgotten!

Since cash crops are not consumed at home,

Cash inflow is handsome,

Sure to be gotten!

  1. My soufflé’s a bit of a flop,
    To clear it I needed a mop.
    It rose for a while
    Which caused me to smile,
    But that’s how it ended – kerplop!

  2. There is a folly called Mow Cop
    I had to clean up with a Mop
    Its found above Cheshire
    And it got much messier
    When crows started sitting on top!

  3. Geraldine woke up in a strop,
    Suggested she needed a swap,
    I’m bored in the kitchen …
    Wife; do stop your bitchin,
    You mow the lawn; I’ll take mop!

    (Be careful what you wish for! 🤣)

  4. “Mop” they called the hair with disdain
    And they thought the music quite insane
    But the band won hearts
    Rose to the top of the carts
    And the “Best Ever” the Beatles remain

  5. If it’s a mop you be wielding
    Better start with the floor, then the ceiling
    To have a clean house
    Leave no crumbs for a mouse
    Then proud is how you’ll be feeling!

    There’s so much mess
    Causing me stress
    I’ve been caught on the hop
    I can’t find me mop
    And this rhyme is utterly useless!

    Cheers Paul 😁

  7. You look just like a mop
    With your hair all a-flop
    You need a good cut
    Your mother, she’ll tut
    While looking from bottom to top

    So lame! 🤦🏽‍♀️

  8. Outside with my bucket and mop,
    Startled, I heard a loud plop.
    To my great surprise,
    In front of my eyes.
    A frog jumped out with a flop.

  9. There once was a boss, Jurgen Klopp,
    Well known for his terrible strops.
    When players did fail,
    He’d hand them a pail,
    Yelling, “Here’s your new job. Use that mop!”

    From mud, my first doll was made in my little toy shop.
    It was adorable, albeit a dirt flop.
    Later one, I got the likes of Cabbage Patch and rag dolls.
    Alas, my aged Raggedy Ann, head to the side now lolls
    Looks like a red mop without a prop.

    ALKALINE bicarbonate in the blood,
    Helps to mop the excess acid flood.
    Though, lemon juice is acidic,
    Benefits in heartburn is terrific.
    Quarter litre water with a tablespoon juice as food.
