Happy Monday! I hope you have a great week. Here’s your new word:
KISS
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word SCORE in it somewhere. Here are your masterpieces:
I tried counting up to a score
So – eighteen and maybe two more.
The agony lingers,
No more toes or fingers –
Just thumbs – maybe that’s what they’re for.
When young, it’s not done to keep score
And if you tell how it went, you’re a bore.
But with each passing year
You’re just grateful to hear
Something nearer a moan than a snore.
Ritu:
I hate having to keep score
It is really rather a bore
Why not admit
That I’m right, that’s it.
There’s really no need to act sore!
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!
When I play a game of ‘encore’
I don’t like to lose, I’m a bore.
So I’d rather cheat
Than let someone beat
Me. So that’s why I always keep score!
John Williams wrote many film scores.
Movie directors would always ask him for more.
Many Oscars he won,
And he always had fun.
Durrh duh, durrh duh went his theme tune for Jaws.
Bony Tony was never a bore.
Statistics he knew by the score.
Tell him a fact
And he’d answer back
With much more than you knew, that’s for sure.
I once had to settle a score
Kicked him out and locked the door
The governor banned him
His things, my dad tossed them
It was plain he was welcome no more!
I need to get back to my music soon
I have tried to score a Broadway tune
But on my piano trusty
I find I am quite rusty
And I end up sounding like a loon.

There once was a fellow named Dan
Who thought he was quite the lady’s man
But he was so 1954
There was no way he could score
Of his misogyny nobody’s a fan.
The game it was quite a big bore
And then when they posted the score
The crowd did moan
With a great big groan
The teams ran away through the door.
Black belt, Joel will often trip
Right over his big, bottom lip,
He always keep score
And often gets sore –
If his foe, he can not outstrip!
Linking People 2003:
Score is generally about twenty written,
Spelling of twelfth is generally forgotten,
Even though score in spelling test is great!
Score of years ends teenage mate,
Life music gets scored for adulthood in Britain!
