I hope you all had a good weekend. Here’s to a great week 😊
Your new limerick challenge is as follows:
STEW
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word DUMB in it somewhere. Here are your masterpieces:
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.
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…
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!
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!
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 I’m crying and calling out for my mum!
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.
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…
