Happy Monday! I hope you all had a good weekend.
Your new limerick challenge is as follows:
BUFF
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word COUGH in it somewhere. Here are your masterpieces:
After weeks and weeks of a cough
It was making her life difficult enough
To the doctors she went
And to hospital was sent
That cough really did pi** her off!
There once was a man with a cough
He coughed his fool head right off
His throat got rough
Made his life tough
Told his doc he’d had quite enough!
Jonathan coughed without a care
Just a year ago he wouldn’t dare
With the panic done
He thought it fun
To spread germs everywhere.
–
Little Billy wasn’t bright
The doctor said “Cough to the right”
When left Billy spit
It was Doc’s face that he hit
Making the doctor squeeze too tight…
Come gather, I’ll tell you a tale
Of raucous nights swigging fine ale.
Unless you’ve a cough
Good liquor you’ll quaff.
Here’s to your health – hearty and hale.
‘You really sound terribly roff,
With that persistent, rattly coff.
I’ve made you a coughin
To carry you ough in,
When it all becomes more than enoff.’
There was a gun-fighter out West
Who, at duelling was easy the best.
That Wild Bill Hiccough
Would too quickly sup.
Hence the spasms he had in his chest.
Travelling at fifty miles per hour
A cough’s certainly got some power
Up to six feet it flies
So be Covid wise
And avoid getting caught in a shower.
And Ruth Scribbles has used the last four prompts (FIVE, TYPE, CROSS, and COUGH):
The five of us were just the type
To talk and create lots of hype
We crossed to the bluff
Then started to cough
The smell in the wind was real ripe.
