Here’s to a great new week! Your new limerick challenge is as follows:
LEAD
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word TALK in it somewhere. Here are your masterpieces:
The newlyweds couldn’t decide
How they should spend their eventide.
He wanted to walk
She wanted to talk;
They finally diversified!
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”)
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!
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?”
Ritu:
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!
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!
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.”
The Right Reverend Dean of Dundalk
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…’
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.
Linking People 2003:
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!
