I hope you all had a good weekend. Here’s to a great week 😊
Your new limerick challenge is as follows:
SHOCK
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word STEW in it somewhere. Here are your masterpieces:
I’ve got myself in a right stew
I really don’t know what to do
In the family way
I’m ashamed to say
As to the daddy, I have no clue.
More pepper in the stew, if you please!
Watch out so the Duchess doesn’t sneeze
Don’t take the baby out
It might grow a snout
This whole land’s a great big tease!
–
I can’t imagine what I sought
As I stewed upon that thought
Is it right or wrong
To think so very long
Or should I keep the first idea caught?
–
For the first limerick, don’t think I’m insane
I love a song by Jefferson Airplane
About a white rabbit
You’re in a stew if you nab it
Go ask Alice, and she will explain.
There once was a girl in a stew
Over what she was told to do
Her boss said, “Smile more.”
Yet, she was always sore
Cause good helpers were far and too few!
I once had a best mate called Stew,
He was such fun when he’d had a few.
One night, out with Benny,
Stew had far too many
And was picked up by our friends in blue.
Last week we had a beef stew to eat
Which actually had very little meat
Aubergine instead
And a slice of bread
Lentils and spuds were the main treat!
When Adam emerged from primordial stew,
He was meant to remain without a clue;
But an apple’s magic,
Turned him priapic
And for ever after, what a to do!
–
They’ve cancelled Shakespeare because one stew
Contained some things that are frankly ‘eew’;
It took some pluck
To change it to duck
On whose arse we are told we have to chew.
When Bony Tony was captured with Peter,
He was grateful that Peter was meatier.
For Tony stew
Satisfies very few
And cannibals prefer somebody meatier.
