Here’s to a great new week! Your new limerick challenge is as follows:
SWEAR
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word JOKE in it somewhere. Here are your masterpieces:
A man from Polk told a joke
About an old pig in a poke
A girl was offended
Thus his routine then was ended
His career as a comedian up in smoke!
When the leader got up and spoke
Some listeners thought it was a joke
But it’s not true
He was in a stew
Then they realised and had to mope.
As an elderly, colourless bloke
I’ve become a bit of a joke;
But since I’ve found my lost youth,
Wrapped up in its own truth
I’m mindful and just a tad woke.
There once was an egg with two yolks
“Am I dreaming? Please give me a poke.”
The bump on my head
Made me dizzy instead
The yolk was on me, no joke!
Bony Tony often spoke
Of goblins, fairies and funny folk.
But then I found
That the world is round,
And, to him, it was all a big joke!
‘Twas a nightmare, a terrible fright
Count Dracula was taking a bite
But then I awoke
It was hubby’s sick joke
He slept downstairs the rest of the night.
