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