Laughing Along With A Limerick

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

GREEN

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

Keith Channing:

The water is coming too fast,
My next breath could well be my last.
The damned Severn Bore
Will drown me before
I can check if the level’s been passed.

Kim Smyth:

Have you ever met such a bore
That his life didn’t warrant an explore?
Well, I did once
And the dude was a dunce
He spent most of his time on the floor!

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

Having to cook is a real big chore
Especially when the ingredients are poor
No sugar or spice
Nothing else nice
The resultant meals are an awful bore!

Val Fish:

Tired of living with such a bore
I’m tempted to walk out the door
His constant ennui
Has driven me
Into the arms of another amour.

TanGental:

Belinda Blande was an Olympic Class bore
Whose monotone chatter made Norman’s head sore.
Even in bed, with all limbs gyrating
Her passionate cries, he found enervating.
So he covered his head and pretended to snore.

Ruth Scribbles:

She once was a terrible bore
Her talks made me just want to snore
I donned my earplugs
And then with a shrug
She talked ‘til she dropped to the floor.

  1. There is a place Caldmore green.
    It’s a place where I have been
    It’s pronounced Kalma
    Not exactly Karma
    that’s the sound it makes it seems

      1. Cheers. I know the place well. The spelling and pronunciation are really at odds

  2. Yesterday I watched the sky
    And a little green man flew by
    He was from Mars
    Or one of the stars
    But he never stopped to say “Hi!”

  3. Good grief, it’s a five-letter word.
    Reminding me this is absurd.
    Esther wants a rhyme
    Every flipping time
    No wonder my eyes are all blurred!

  4. Our grass is no longer green
    The sun has been pretty mean
    We water and mow
    But still it won’t grow
    Cause the heat is just obscene!

      1. This heat is killer! We can’t even get in the pool until after five if we do it at all

    GREEN, colour between blue and yellow in spectrum heralds,
    Her flashing green eyes coloured like grass and emeralds.
    In a house overlooking the green piece of public grassy land,
    The roof greening with lichen become green in colour brand.
    She knew how to green her home better than MacDonalds!

    हरा, नीले और पीले रंग के बीच का रंग,
    उसकी चमकती हरी आँखें घास के रंग,
    हरियाली के हरे टुकड़े को देखकर एक घर में,
    लाइकेन के साथ छत की हरियाली हरे रंग में
    वह जानती थी मैकडॉनल्ड्स से बेहतर हरा रंग।

    Her indoors says we’re going green
    I must confess I’m not all that keen
    We’ve bins brown black and blue
    What goes where, I’ve no clue
    I’ll leave it all to the recycling queen

  7. A comic, when young and quite green
    Thought nothing of being obscene;
    But a life so splenetic
    Can become quite frenetic.
    Now sadly his act is now clean.

  8. I’m very late but have two-which is the funniest

    the
    woman, she put down her head
    she was tired, she wanted her bed
    but it was the scene
    of something real green
    a lizard was there and was dead
    ———-
    that bird it shat on my arm
    for a second I wished it real harm
    the shat was not green
    it was white like cream
    I’m clean now, no cause for alarm
