Laughing Along With A Limerick

I’m delighted to be back with my Monday challenge. Many thanks to the wonderful Lance Greenfield for looking after my challenges over the last few months. I know many of you have enjoyed them.

My word for you this week is:

BACK

I’m looking forward to reading all your limericks. Happy writing!

  1. I’m undone, alas and alack
    There’s a spider half way up my back.
    Forgive me my flinches,
    It’s more than six inches
    And has an enormous egg sack!

      1. Isn’t it a good thing that I write lies? I, too, would hate for that one to be based on a true story. Thank you for the compliment, though.

  2. Esther announced, “I’m back!
    Let’s get this challenge on track!
    Now, Lance was my sitter,
    But now I’m much fitter
    I’m totally up for this craic!”

    Happy New Year, Esther, and fellow Limerickians!

  3. New Year; “time for a change”, thought Zack,
    From the threat of his own blackjack.
    He struck that voice imp
    That sends his flair limp –
    Getting his genius back on track!

  5. Back to the future? she said
    Where all my books I have read
    Then new ones I’ll find
    First editions all signed
    And sell them for millions instead

    1. It was a great pleasure for me.
      I’ll miss the blog-sitting.
      And I’ll miss raiding Esther’s larder while she was away. She said that I could help myself but she hid the key to the drinks cabinet.
      Happy New Year!

  8. Haste ye back, Bony Tony.
    We miss your wit at the Frog and Pony.
    Although you’re a ghost,
    We raise you a toast:
    Single malt and a glass of Peroni.

  9. Once, I had a back issue
    I cried and needed a tissue
    The doctor fixed me
    With exercise and therapy
    Will it stay well, haven’t a clue!

    1. What a pain!
      Let’s hope it refrains
      From coming back again.

  10. You can reflect on your life and your lack,
    but nothing can come from this tack,
    There’s one thing that’s so true
    each day brings something new
    and in life, you can never go back.

    LYING supine over pillow under lumbar back,
    Maintains lumbar lordosis preventing ache in back!
    Good to give back to society better life tricks,
    Anticipating danger ahead must move back is one of the tricks.
    Those having social concern, everyone should back!

    कमर के पीठ नीचे तकिये रख कर लेटना,
    लम्बर लॉर्डोसिस को बनाए रखता, पीठ में दर्द को रोकता ।
    समाज को वापस देने के लिए अच्छा है बेहतर जीवन के गुर,
    आगे खतरे का अनुमान लगाते हुए पीछे हटना चाहिए, यह है एक गुर ।
    सामाजिक सरोकार रखने वालों को साथ देना चाहिए!

  12. I’m a bit of a limerick hack
    Rhyming and rhythm skills I lack
    But when it’s done
    It’s just for fun
    And I’m glad Esther’s back

    the above is self-referential… lol. Welcome back!

  13. I fell back on the tip of a tack
    It punctured my skin, I’m chagrined
    A tack in my back
    A chagrin ‘cause of skin
    Now I’m back where I started—begin!

    Ok, not a limerick, but as I typed this ^ is what my muse wrote
