Here’s to a great week! Your new limerick challenge is as follows:
DRAIN
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word MUG in it somewhere. Here are your masterpieces:
I really feel like a mug!
I gave my friend a hug…
He started to sneeze
Cough and wheeze
I caught a really bad bug!
I once met a pug with a mug
So ugly I gave him a hug
To make him feel good
I gave him a hood
Now he’s cute as a bug in a rug!
Drink my tea from a lovely big mug
Don’t sip delicate mouthfuls but glug
With a satisfied sigh
Enjoy mood-boosting high
Love my internal, tea-flavoured hug.
An etiquette teacher, quite smug,
Said, ‘One doesn’t drink tea from a mug.
It is clear one oughter
Drink from cup and saucer,
With the milk poured from a jug.’
–
The radio told me ‘Today’s muggy,’
Which made me come over all fuggy.
But before very long
I knew they were wrong
As today’s not muggy, but tuggy.
(And tomorrow’s wuggy then thuggy, and fruggy…)
Lord Snooty was terribly smug.
He looked down on the people, whom he regarded as mugs.
But he got his come-uppance,
Which cost us just tuppence.
Prunes made him run more than any drug!
