Laughing Along With A Limerick

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a good weekend. As most of you will know, I’m recovering from an operation so I’ve scheduled the next couple of challenges. I’ll publish all your lovely limericks soon.

Your new limerick challenge is as follows:

FISH

  1. I decided to take a look
    At catching a fish on a hook
    I was in a fetter
    ‘Cause the fish were better
    Next time I’ll read a book
    *
    Bob let nothing pass his lips
    But deep fried fish and chips
    All day he’d sit
    And eat quite a bit
    And, yes, it all went to his hips

  2. She fished for mullet
    With a gun and bullet
    In bits to catch it
    With a small basket
    in pieces was forced to pull it

  3. There once was a cat who could fish
    Only happy with fish in her dish
    She stuck in a paw
    Pulled back a sharp claw
    And yep! She got exactly her wish!

  4. I truly had only one wish
    As I sat there and looked at my dish
    I smiled to my brother
    Then yelled at my mother
    “I don’t even like bloody fish!”

    On my plate a whole fish, tail to head,
    Relaxed on a slice of brown bread
    Its teeth it was bearing
    Its eyes they were staring
    I’m not even sure it was dead!

    Take it easy and recover well, Esther.

  5. There once was a fish named Fruit Tree
    She swam ‘round her bowl full of glee
    She started to float
    And then turned to bloat
    They stuffed her and then drank some tea

    1. Amazingly creative to name a fish so bizarrely just to fit a rhyme. I love it!

  6. When the press accused him of catfishing
    He thought it a trifle off-pissing.
    ‘I’m not a fraud,’ he complained.
    ‘I’m really the king,’ he explained.
    ‘And it was only Haz and Megs I was dissing.’

  7. East Anglians can’t get more remoter
    Than the place where their food’s caught by boaters.
    They smoke their fresh fish
    And it’s really dee-lish.
    You should try that Great Yarmouth bloater!

    Seaman Fred would swing the lead.
    Bosun’s face would turn beetroot red.
    “If you don’t work hard,
    You’ll swing from the yard,
    Then your body to the fish will be fed!”
