Laughing Along With A Limerick

I hope you all had a good weekend. Here’s to a great week 😊

Your new limerick challenge is as follows:

GLOVE

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

Richmond Road:

She’d some curves that were hard to conceal

And she offered to sell me a feel

Loneliness sucks

So I offered ten bucks

She said, “that’s not a sale, it’s a steal!”

Kim Smyth:

“But Judge,” she began to appeal

“That bread I did not steal!”

The Judge shook his head

And then was heard said,

“Bread will now be your last meal!”

Keith Channing:

Sometimes it seems only too real

That I’ll only get rich if I steal.

Each breach of the laws

Advances my cause

Lending more weight to my deal.

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

Don’t steal my diamond ring!

It was a present from the King!

Camilla was haughty

She said he was naughty

But the thief ran away with the thing!

Lance Greenfield:

Robin Hood would steal from the rich,

To give to those folks who ain’t got a stitch.

Until, one day, he came a cropper,

A victim of the sherriff’s chopper.

His last words were clearly, “Ain’t life a bitch!”

TanGental:

If ever you hear ‘It’s a steal’

Said with a tad too much zeal;

Consider a second thought

Before this bargain is bought:

The seller may well be an eel.

Some think there are kisses to steal,

And they can still cop a feel.

But believe such tripe

And they are ripe

For someone, their testes to kneel.

  1. Freddy said she was sent from above
    There is nobody else whom he could love
    Like moon and sun
    They joined as one
    Their personalities fit like a glove
    *
    Michael danced in front of the band
    Sequined glove on his left hand
    From his bad talk
    To the moon walk
    The king of pop ruled the land
    (Note – I am not really a big fan, but…)

    1. Re the second, I get where you’re coming from, but it works very well, Trent 😊 The first one is a limerick (romance) made in heaven 😂

      1. I couldn’t do a limerick with “glove” without an MJ reference, even if not really a super fan… As tot he first, yep, though I am not sure if the higher power is physics, like sun and moon, or something more mysterious 😉

  2. I once had a servant called Mellors;
    Much gentler than all other fellas.
    I fell in love
    With his velvet gloves
    As he tended my garden rose trellis.

  4. Sorry pressed send by mistake!

    The ‘Hand in Glove’ was an old pub
    With distilled gin made in a tub!
    The homebrew team
    Were an absolute dream
    Till they flavoured the gin with a bug!

  5. Glove in hand? That is **** about face,
    Letting words fly all over the place.
    Overthinking, no doubt,
    Very loudly you shout.
    Exit now, leaving nary a trace!

      2. Not an acrostic, but…

        Glove in hand is still **** about face
        Like losing a three legged race
        Two legs and one willy
        You’d really look silly
        While peeing all over the place

  6. We dance as one, like a hand in a glove
    Lifted by the wind under the wings of a dove
    And if I stumble
    She doesn’t grumble
    Just gets me moving with a discrete shove…
