Here’s to a great week! Your new limerick challenge is as follows:
MUG
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word SCONE in it somewhere. Here are your masterpieces:
We went out for tea and a scone
Just me and my bestest mate, John.
I then shared a scone
With a girl that I’d known
But before I had finished, she’d gone.
–
Sometimes, when I’m chewing a scone,
Can’t help but think, “What’s going on?
Once young, fit and free,
Now I’m seventy-three,
Even… no, it’s too late; the thought’s gone.”
Jam and cream on a scone
Or with just butter, alone?
You get to choose it
Which choice will it fit?
But a scone alone? I’d moan!
I once ate a scone with a bone
Or was it a seed or a stone?
At any rate
The taste was not great
I’ll just stick to biscuits from now on!
Little Anita went to see
If she could score a scone and a sip-of tea
She felt real bad
For none was to be had
Without an exorbitant fee.
For some, jam first is just not done,
While cream first, you’re on your own.
The bigger dilemma
Is really whether
You call it a ‘scon’ or a ‘scown’.
There was a fair maiden from Troon
Who fell for a crooner from Scone.
He woo’d her with tunes
That just made her swoon.
Now they’re an item: they’re Kenneth and June.
I looked up into the bright blue sky
And what did I spy with my little eye
A drone with a scone
And an ice-cream cone
Dost thou think that I might be high?
