Laughing Along With A Limerick

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

FLOOR

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

Keith Channing:

How frequently must I explain
Only ducks should be out in the rain?
Unless I can see
Something in it for me
Expect not to see me again!

Hotels serve me well on vacation
Or a guest house quite close to the station
Unless I can scamper
Somewhere in my camper
Escape is my best expectation.

Ruth Scribbles:

There once was a haunted old house
Which was covered with vines and some grouse
Said my partner to me
Why can’t you see
This place is infested with louse.

Kim Smyth:

There once was a gal with a house
Too small for even a mouse
A miniature it was
She loved it because
It was decorated by her loving spouse!

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

I once had a house in Cornwall
Which got covered in a snowfall
We dug it out twice
It got infested with mice
So now I’ve bought one in Porthcawl!

Ritu:

Now, I’m not one to grumble and grouse
But, have you seen the state of my house?
The place is a mess
Though I have to confess
I tend to just blame kids and spouse!

Val Fish:

Her indoors does nothing but grouse,
Can’t wait to get out of the house.
Into another’s arms
And her comely charms
Worlds away from my nagging spouse!

  1. The floor of Parliament is a brutal place.
    MPs can speak with very ill grace.
    They vote for new laws
    With only a pause
    To draw breath in that awful space.

  2. My head was pounding and to my dismay
    I woke up on the floor today
    Wasn’t sure where
    Last night’s a blur
    A pint or two too many, I’d say
    *
    OK,, so “blur” and “where” aren’t the best of rhymes, so:
    *
    Little Amy started to cry
    Milk on the floor, she thought she’d die
    “Lift up your head”
    Mother said
    “And dry that teary eye”

    1. I love that first limerick so I’m definitely gonna let you get away with that, Trent! The second one’s a better rhyme, but I enjoyed both 😁

  3. Floor should be swept, someone said,
    Look at all those crumbs of bread.
    Oh, give it a rest
    Or beat on your chest
    Remind me again when I’m dead!

  4. First onto the floor and last to leave,
    Bony Tony could certainly duck and weave.
    His son, young Lance,
    Also loved to dance.
    They’d carve great moves like you wouldn’t believe.

  5. I once found myself on the floor
    I couldn’t just crawl to the door
    with a loud shout for help
    that was more like a yelp
    I conked out and started to snore
