Here’s to a great new week! Your new limerick challenge is as follows:
BLOAT
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word BROKE in it somewhere. Here are your masterpieces:
Before you decide to just nix it,
Remind me which one of you picks it.
Or please ask the priest
Keep trying at least
Even if it ain’t broke, still don’t fix it.
There once was a man who was broke
Due to buying a pig in a poke
He reached in that sack
And brought out not Jack
Now, his life’s just a joke!
Broke my foot on the fridge today
While putting the eggs away
I tripped over the cat
And fell down with a splat
With my toes completely asplay!
Wanted to write a limerick but I’m broke
My clever words turned out a joke
Nothing’s there at all
Just an empty skull
Perhaps I need a bath in which to soak.
Bony Tony was stoney broke,
But he always was a resourceful bloke.
He invented a thing
Tied together with string.
His lucrative secret’s still under a cloak.
Terry Dulle, an ordinary bloke
Came home to find he was broke.
‘Where’s it all gone?’
‘You spent it, moron,
On booze, some bets and a smoke.’
No, I never…
