Laughing Along With A Limerick

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

SNORE

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

Keith Channing:

Now here is a jolly good wheeze:
Try clearing a room with a sneeze.
Make it sound like a fart,
And here’s the best part:
You can do it as much as you please!

Ruth Scribbles:

He opened the door and then sneezed
His snot spread about, yuk oh pleeze
He wiped it all up
Then in came the pup
He started to sniff, I said freeze.

Trent’s World:

To the duchess’ cottage in the trees
That’s enough pepper, if you please
A baby quite big
Turns into a pig
Starts grunting where there was a sneeze!

Kim Smyth:

My hubby has multiple sneezes
But his allergies cause him no wheezes
He uses many tissues
To deal with his issues
But mostly he wishes for freezes!

Ritu:

There was a young girl from Belize
Who had a strange reaction to cheese
Just the barest of whiffs
Or the slightest of sniffs
Would result in a rather loud sneeze!

Richmond Road:

He covered his mouth, thus to sneeze
Then a sniff, and a cough, and a wheeze
I was able to issue
A barely used tissue
I said, “Blow into here, if you please.”

I was chatting one day with the Queen
When the moment turned vaguely obscene
She seemed less than pleased
From the moment I sneezed
On her dress. Something slimy and green.

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

The cat sneezed hard at me
I wondered what had he
Eaten tonight
Taken a bite
Then from his nose…Flew a bee!

The Hidden Edge:

The cheerleader was feeling blue,
What was wrong, she hadn’t a clue,
No one was best pleased
As she fiercely sneezed –
Then, crawled back to bed with the flu!

  1. It’s really a great big bore
    trying to sleep through a snore
    I wish he’d be quiet
    For once in the night
    Or else he’ll be out through the door!

  2. My husband’s snore is so deep
    How can anyone sleep?
    I’ve tried every device
    And some aren’t so nice
    Just once I’d like not a peep!

  3. There was a weird man, it is said
    Who snored loud enough to wake the dead
    They broke the turf
    To walk the Earth
    Each night when he went to bed

  5. When my husband snores loud and snores long
    Grating stop-and-start staccato song
    Neither quiet nor gentle
    It drives me quite mental
    So I give him a shove – am I wrong?

  6. There was a man named Salvator
    And he was known for his incredible snore
    The neighbours he’d wake
    The house, it would shake
    Well, he just caused a terrible uproar!

  7. Sometimes, I’ll admit it, I snore.
    Not loudly, for that I’d abhor.
    On Friday, my wife
    Rubbed my nose with a knife
    Enough just to make it quite sore!

  9. Dessie Dull from Little Snoring,
    Was known for being deadly boring.
    It became too much for Fanny Fun
    Who blew him away with her father’s gun
    And he’s buried beneath the flooring.

    COMEDIAN dictator snores in bunker safe,
    Countrymen losing home 🏡 and life unsafe,
    Uncle Sam and other NATO countries betray,
    Guised as AID but landlocked will repay,
    By toiling soil for wheat, sunflower 🌻 ensafe!

    कॉमेडियन तानाशाह बंकर में खर्राटे लेते हैं,
    घर 🏡 गंवा रहे देशवासी और जीवन असुरक्षित हैं,
    अंकल सैम और अन्य नाटो देशों ने विश्वासघात किया, चढ़ाया क़र्ज़ा,
    सहायता के रूप में निर्देशित लेकिन लैंडलॉक चुकाएगा क़र्ज़ा,
    कड़ी मेहनत कर मिट्टी से गेहूँ और 🌻 सूरजमुखी उगा क़र्ज़ा चुकाते हैं ।

  11. Is that the rumble of thunder, I hear?
    Or maybe an earthquake to fear?
    In the hotel room next door,
    The occupant snores
    Louder than anything natural, that’s clear.
