Happy Halloween! Your new limerick challenge is as follows:
GHOST
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word PET in it somewhere. Here are your masterpieces:
As I said to my dear old friend, Sybil,
It’s not just the cost of the kibble.
The expense of a pet
Includes paying the vet
Whilst resisting the instinct to quibble.
Soon they’ll be traveling with us
On our 37ft motor home bus
These spoiled dogs of ours
Will be whiling away the hours
In our laps and try hard not to fuss.
I decided to buy a new pet
But he turned into a real pest!
He was a small pony
Who cost lots of money
With vets fees, food, and the rest!
Having a daughter who is a skilled vet
I’m willing to place a very large bet
If you knew the cost of your doctor’s fees
Then you’d be really very pleased
At the moderate cost ensuring a healthy pet!
There once was a man we called Brett
Who dared to call me his pet
“I’m a woman, oh sheesh!
You’ll NOT put me on a leash!”
He’s now running and dripping in sweat.
Larry is a fearsome pet.
Four household tenants, he’s already ate.
Rishi’s his fifth.
Who’ll be his sixth?
Well that, dear reader, is anyone’s bet!
Dear Santa, this year can I please
Have a pair of pet chimpanzees
My mum says they stink
So it’s best , I think
To just let them to swing through the trees.
