Here’s to a great new week! Your new limerick challenge is as follows:
JOKE
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word GYM in it somewhere. Here are your masterpieces:
There once was a man with a gym
Who dreamed all of his friends could be slim
His friends and folks came
But their willpower was lame
So he lost everything on his whim.
In space you can see Captain Jim
Exercising in the Enterprise Gym
But look at this scene
You can’t hear him scream!
No sound in a vacuum, poor him!
Last time that I entered a gym
I signed in with a fresh anonym
If I had my druthers
I’d go with my brothers
Cos the pain that I felt was quite Grimm.
In a quest to be pretty and trim
My last wife enrolled at the gym
Her training instructor
Became her seductor
Now she trains every night, just with him.
Gym Nastic found that working out,
Left him tired with a permanent pout.
His hopes of love, barely a glimmer,
Became as naught, as he became slimmer
With perfect abs and the face of a trout.
There once was a man at the gym
Who wanted to learn how to swim
And just like a fool
He jumped in the pool
The fool in the pool was slim Jim.
Bony took me to the gym.
He also took my sister, Kim.
We tried. We cried.
We damn near died.
The end result? We’re very slim!
