Laughing Along With A Limerick

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

STORE

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

Keith Edgar Channing:

Before you decide what to say,
Let me see if I can find a way.
Oh yes, I will gloat
And I may even bloat
Try keeping your tum in all day!

Kim Smyth:

A bloated tummy’s no fun
You’ve got to get gas on the run
One could try Gas-x
Or go walk and do flex
But eating slowly is still number one!

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

We went across the lake by boat
Unfortunately it failed to float
I got away from it because
I’d eaten a meal, three course
I was bouyed up by my tummy bloat!

Lance Greenfield:

East Anglians can’t get more remoter
Than the place where the food’s caught by boaters.
They smoke their fresh fish
And it’s really dee-lish.
You should try that Great Yarmouth bloater!

TanGental:

When Lars Ego began to promote
A cure for those tending to bloat,
He told his editor
‘I’ll be top predator.’
But, in truth he was more ass than G.O.A.T.

Ruth Scribbles:

The suitcases were full of our bloat
They even contained several coats
Pepper spray is not good
Customs even searched the food
Our things are now covered in coot(ies).

Val Fish (using the five-word story challenge word ‘mine’):

My best mate was way out of line
Stole my girl, he knew she was mine
His apology
I told him, bitterly,
He could stick where the sun don’t shine.

  1. I went to the store, what a bore
    Ten aisles from ceiling to floor
    Tis the season they say
    Money’s the reason, so pay
    I left the store angry and swore

  2. I find going out to the store
    Is really a very big bore
    I’d rather go walking
    Round the lanes of Dorking
    Than spend hours on a shop floor!

  3. I find so much to implore
    When I venture into the store
    What’s the real reason
    To celebrate early the season
    Why, only to get you to buy more!

  4. Bob had a yacht and used to gloat
    But now his rig will no longer float
    He’ll keep his pride
    Even though it died
    So he now wants to store his boat
    *
    Bob had to keep his family fed
    He’d go to the store to buy them bread
    But one there
    He bought beer
    Now his wife wants his head

  5. Whenever I go to the store,
    Whenever I do any chore;
    Whenever I start,
    Whenever I chart
    My mind can’t recall any … what was I doing?

  6. Stores of words held together with Bostik
    Telling tales of the past or prognostic.
    Only look in my eye,
    Remind me of why
    Every cue needs to be an acrostic.

  7. If I’d known what to expect before
    I acquired my mother in law
    I’d have kept all the packing
    The ribbons and wrapping
    And returned her, complete, to the store.

  8. Daydreaming in a department store
    I walked straight into a plate glass door
    A frightening feeling
    That had me reeling
    I collapsed in a heap on the floor

    ( this happened to me once, minus the collapsing, thank goodness. People joke about it but it really is a horrible experience).

  9. Bony Tony’s Dad owned a store
    In Storrington near to England’s shore.
    He stocked peas and cheese,
    Had knobbly knees,
    Yet Tony always wanted more.
