Here’s to a great new week! Your new limerick challenge is as follows:
CRIME
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word TALE in it somewhere. Here are your masterpieces:
Let me tell you a caution’ry tale
About why I eschew homebrewed ale.
Just one little drink
I can no longer think;
I act daft and I end up in jail.
Have quite a tale to tell
Of a girl who fell into a well
She got soaking wet
Had to visit the vet
Her tail, it had started to swell.
Hold on and listen for a few
For I’ve a tale to relate to you
It’s as absurd
As any you’ve heard
And you might not think it’s true…
There once was a guy from Lake Fork
Who told the tale of a spork
It wouldn’t cut meat
He gave up in defeat
And then ate a fish with a fork!
I have to tell a dragon’s tale
In a book or I will fail
My college course
And what is worse
The dragon will burn my mail!
Alsu Remi:
There once was a sailor from Ayr
Who managed to drink lots of beer
He yelled: ‘Where’s my ale?!’
And told us his tale
Of trying to father an heir.
There’s a broke banker from Berks
On dating apps he lurks
Says he’s got money
It gets him the honey
Telling tales sometimes works…
You’ll be frightened. Your skin will go pale
Whilst I read you this Grimms’ fairytale
I will turn out the light
And allow in the night
Then read the whole book out in braille.
Bony Tony was a splendid fella
And, most would agree, a great storyteller.
He would spin a yarn
With plenty of charm
His tales of space travel were more than stellar.
