Here’s to a great new week! Your new limerick challenge is as follows:
BREAD
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word FATE in it somewhere. Here are your masterpieces:
I once had a girlfriend called Kate,
Who hated when I turned up late.
She said, “If you’re early
You may keep this girly,
Or else I’ll leave you to your fate.”
I went on a double blind date
Which really is just tempting fate.
My girl was called Nancy,
Twas clear she did fancy
Fat Billy, and he’s my best mate.
Don’t ask me why I vacillate
Why everything I leave to fate.
Since I was a lad,
When I’m feeling sad
I always hyperventilate.
When Shakespeare wrote ‘Kiss me Kate’
He little knew what was his fate!
He gave her a kiss
But found no real bliss,
So he took out Miss Hathaway on a date!
There once was an old guy named Tate
Who knew how to clean up his plate
He ate all he saw
He wore out his jaw
He’s dead now, you know that was fate.
She told me her love story was fate
Her luck was in finding her mate
The place they met
Where neither had never bet
Ever since their marriage has been great!
William said ‘It was always my fate
To kiss a frog on my first date.
But had I done a runner
I’d have missed out on this stunner
Who’s now known as Kiss Me, Kate.’
I bought a horse called Sleepy Joe.
His legs were short but I thought that he’d grow.
His fate was sealed.
My deal was unreal.
No cups could be won by a horse so slow.
–
Bony Tony had some dangerous traits.
Taking risks on routes meant he’d seldom be late.
Then came the day,
With a cliff in his way,
His quickest path down sealed his final fate.
