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:

DUMB

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

Trent’s World:

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.

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:

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!

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.

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

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!

Lance Greenfield:

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.

TanGental:

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…

  1. A wee little chap called Tom Thumb
    Had a habit of acting quite dumb.
    Turns out he was clever
    And ’twas certain you’d never
    See Tom falling flat on his bum!

      1. There once was a girl so dumb
        You’d think that her brain was numb
        She couldn’t add
        And her grammar was bad
        But worse, she always sucked her thumb!

    Her brain was the size of a pea
    Her cup size, a huge Double ‘D’
    She wasn’t that dumb,
    Success was to come
    Flaunting her assets on page three.

  3. Freddy was as dumb as a brick
    Nothing under that skull so thick
    But from the start
    He had a golden heart
    So stop teasing him, you di… (cough cough)… meany.
    *
    Blind, deaf and dumb, sang the Who
    The best rock opera, it’s true
    From abused zero
    To cult hero
    I listened to Tommy a time or two…

  4. I must be really, really, very dumb!
    with a hammer I just hit my thumb!
    I was fixing the fence
    to save the expense
    Now Im crying and calling out for my mum!

  5. There was a dumbwaiter, Jermaine,
    Who went up and down on a chain.
    But when his chain broke,
    Those privileged folk
    Had to climb down the stairs for their main.

  6. When our PM (tosser) did succumb
    To offering a referendum
    On staying or going
    I had no way of knowing
    We do anything quite so dumb…
