Laughing Along With A Limerick

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a good weekend.

Your new limerick challenge is as follows:

QUOTE

Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word SNEEZE in it somewhere. Here are your masterpieces:

Trent’s World:

Bob swears he’s allergic to rose
They make him itch from his hair to his toes
The sight makes him wheeze
The word brings a sneeze
So his wife expects none of those.



Back to the thirteen fifties
To report on a dreaded disease
The life blood was cut
From his time-traveling butt
When he let out an unfortunate sneeze.

Keith Channing:

I crawled to the desk on my knees
And issued a thunderous sneeze.
Immobile with dread
I falteringly said,
“Can I please have a packet of these?”

TanGental:

He thought it a terrific wheeze
To induce, in his brother, a sneeze.
The ensuing propulsion
Of snot-bogey emulsion
Left them glued right up to their knees.

Lance Greenfield:

Nelly, my elephant, sniffed the air
And up her trunk sucked a prick-ell-y pear.
I felt the strong breeze
From her HUMUNGOUS sneeze,
As it blew off my hat and ruffled my hair.

  1. Quote me, if you think it’s okay
    Unless you’ve your own thing to say.
    Oh, you’re quiet now,
    Trying hard to, somehow,
    Extend your lunch to last all day.

  2. To quote a poet can be hard
    Unless it’s from a birthday card?
    I think all poets are too shy
    To share words with a cry
    A rhyme today from a bard….

  4. When he sighed and said “2B”
    I tried to assist his geometry
    But, quoting the Bard
    It was too hard
    So my help was “not to be”

    1. I sat for a long time trying to work “Doth quote the raven” in.. savin’, haven,cave in? Hmmm. I once was able to do this on the spot. Will I ever again? Never more!

  5. With acknowledgement to trentpmcd for the inspiration:

    I’ll quote a verse I heard before
    ’bout a woman by name of Lenore
    And some flipping bird
    That’s plainly absurd
    ‘Cos all it says is “Never more!”

  6. My history teacher, Miss Quote
    Taught us dates and events by rote.
    I dare not repeat
    My memory feats
    For fear of misquoting Miss Quote.

  7. Some people who you’ll find quoting
    what clever people have wroting
    Think themselves smart
    But they’re just a pain in the art
    And deserve to receive a good boating….
