Laughing Along With A Limerick

Here’s to a great new week! Your new limerick challenge is as follows:

TALK

Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word SNEAK in it somewhere. Here are your masterpieces:

Keith Channing:

Sneak over here, said Aunt Flo,
Now here’s a thing you need to know.
Every eve
As soon as we leave,
Keith adds a string to his bow!

Christine Mallaband-Brown

Into a mansion I decided to sneak
To look at its luxury, I wanted a peek
Instead of gold taps
And pools to swim laps
I found it was empty, because of a leak!

Trent’s World:

Mary was naughty little lass
Actually, she was quite the pain in the a$$
All her life
She’d sneak in strife
She was born knowing how to harass.

Kim Smyth:

So into my bed did I sneak
Glancing over at hubs for a peek
Back asleep on his cloud
After snoring so loud
Hoping now I could sleep for a week!

Ruth Scribbles:

I crawled out the window, I sneaked
I’d notice if you tried to peek
I ran to the car
The door stood ajar
I closed it, oh my what a squeak.

Ritu:

Oh, Pete, you’re such a sneak
I only took a peek!
Now the Teach says I’m cheating
Mam’ll give me a beating
I’ll be sore on at least one cheek!

Lance Greenfield:

James Bond was his name, born in Auld Reekie.
Best acted by Sean, who was ever so cheeky.
He liked shaken martinis
And girls in bikinis,
Yet, as a spy, he was always so sneaky.

Bony Tony marched with fellow campaigners.
For the long walks he wore comfortable trainers.
The Yanks said, “Jeepers!
We just love your sneakers!”
Said he, “Tighter shoes would be such restrainers.”

TanGental:

People would take a sneaky peek
At Roger Schnozzle’s extraordinary beak.
It was truly humongous
And smelt of old fungus
And would constantly, saltily leak.

  1. There once was a guy named Tony
    Who was nothing more than a phony
    His talk was big
    But not worth a fig
    He was so full of bologna
    (in the US that last word is pronounced more like “baloney”)

    1. Nice one, Trent!
      You reminded me of one that I posted almost a year ago to honour my Dad’s birthday. I think that it was the first of my Bony Tony series.

      Happy Birthday Bony Tony,
      Always straight and never phoney.
      Two years departed,
      Still never outsmarted.
      Let’s party with pizza calzone.

  2. Haha to you meme!

    There once was a chick that could talk
    In fact, she talked more than she walked
    She talked her way
    Into trouble one day
    Now, from Facebook she is blocked!

  3. The newlyweds couldn’t decide
    How they should spend their eventide.
    He wanted to walk
    She wanted to talk;
    They finally diversified!

  4. There was a young girl from Chalk
    Who had a peculiar walk
    On tiptoe she’d stride
    Some narrow, some wide
    Well, it certainly made people talk!

  5. she had to be coaxed just to talk
    ‘cause, her words sounded just like crow squawks
    she went to the Doc
    who spoke chicken-hawk
    she balked and said “why do you mock”

  6. When angry Jean would both scream and squawk,
    Nothing would make her sensibly talk,
    In Hyde park she’d stand
    With her heart in hand –
    Bystanders would just stand there and gawk!

  7. Bony Tony went right off his rocker
    Listening to jargon from teachers and chalkers.
    “You’re fusing my brain.
    Why can’t you speak plain?
    I’d like you better if you’d be straight talker.”

    SPEAKING and writing are outputs!
    Listening and viewing or reading are inputs!
    Communication can be by spoken words,
    Simply body language or written words!
    Generally, talk settles disputes!

    बोलना और लिखना आउटपुट हैं!
    सुनना और देखना या पढ़ना इनपुट हैं!
    संचार बोले गए शब्दों से हो सकता है,
    बॉडी लैंग्वेज या लिखित शब्दों में हो सकता है!
    आम तौर पर बातचीत से विवाद सुलझ जाते हैं!

    Liked to help newly weds with ‘The Talk’.
    ‘Now don’t you go bragging,
    For a weekend of shagging
    Will leave you both unable to walk…’

  10. I like your meme, Esther. So true…

    I’m just a poor boy nobody loves me
    Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?

    Yes! If you don’t know the lyrics.

  11. I was planning on talking the talk
    So I took my true love for a walk
    She spoiled my plans
    When she stopped holding hands
    It turns out we’re like cheese and like chalk
