Here’s to a great new week! Your new limerick challenge is as follows:
POOL
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word GREEN in it somewhere. Here are your masterpieces:
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!
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!”
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Linking People 2003:
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 McDonald’s!
