Happy Monday! I hope you all had a good weekend.
Your new limerick challenge is as follows:
SPIN
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word BARK in it somewhere. Here are your masterpieces:
I fell and barked my shin
I also hurt my chin
My head it hurt
Got blood on my shirt
A fight that I didn’t win!
There once was a tree in this spot
Whose bark began to rot
At the end of a lead
A barking dog peed
And ruined the wood, that sot!
–
A little dog was in a fight
Against one twice his height
Without a blow
He won that row
For his bark was much worse than the bite.
Brandy would bark at the sight
Of cats running round in the night
She’d hop like a bunny
Which we thought was funny
And not too much caused her fright!
“Come on then,” she said, “for a lark,
I want you to make that dog bark.”
I cocked up one knee,
Pretended to pee,
Then went for a run round the park.
When my dog lost his sweet bark
I saw a young vet called Mark.
“It might seem absurb
He thinks he’s a bird
With a beak and the song of a lark.”
–
Of the problems that emerged on the Ark
The worst was when the dogs lost their bark
Noah called the Almighty
Who just said, “Oh crikey,
Try prayer with a portion of snark.”
I once heard a bark in the park
And wondered aloud in the dark
“Could that be a dog?
Or maybe a frog?”
It was someone having a lark!
