Here’s to a great new week! Your new limerick challenge is as follows:
TALE
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word STOP in it somewhere. Here are your masterpieces:
My heart was near brought to a stop
By a comet that’s known as Hale-Bopp
I looked to the sky
With my naked eye
And tripped on a tree root – kerplop!
She wanted all traffic to stop
So, she enlisted the aid of a cop
His efforts were failing
And he felt like bailing
But instead he let his pants drop.
There is some madness ensuing
Everywhere laughter is spewing
I have to relate
I can’t concentrate
So please stop what you’re doing!
–
There once was a very strong man
Who could stop a train with his hand
Not as we wished
For he ended up squished
But the train did come to a stand.
The girls at bus stops complain
While standing huddled up in the rain
While hating the way
Cars splashed them all day
One said, “We should have taken the train!”
I need to stop just for a rest
I really am trying my best
To write a report
On what I’ve been taught
This college work is a huge pest!
Bony Tony loved his punctuation.
His prose had rhythm and great fluctuation.
It just wouldn’t rhyme,
But that ain’t no crime,
As he knew the right POINT to STOP.
Linking People 2003:
Unce, Uncle, please help, Dad is beating black and blue,
Why not stop; but, want to buy or get as alm more arms and shoe
We are cousins by lineage but you know,
Faniliarity breeds contempt, hence the war to blow
Realising late, democratically elected leaders become puppets to slew!
