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:

BAND

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

Keith Channing:

Some shocks I have had in my life

Have cut me as if with a knife.

One thing I recall

Cut me worst of all;

Know what? You had best ask the wife!

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

I was shook by a really big shock

As lightning hit me with a thwock!

It went from my shoulder

And came out by a boulder

And burnt a big hole in my sock!

TanGental:

It’s very easy for people to mock

When I first posted a pic on TikTok

But with a butt parabolic

And breasts hyperbolic

Of course I caused quite a shock.

Lance Greenfield:

A defiant young calf called Spence

Was told, by his mum, “DON’T TOUCH THAT FENCE!”

The shock wasn’t nice

And made Spence think twice,

That advice from old cows makes mooer sense.

  1. 🤣😂-Sounds like something I’d say!

    A girl once played in a band
    She strummed the guitar with her hand
    She played really loud
    Which appeased the large crowd
    At the beach where it’s all full of sand!

  2. Poor Gerry could not understand
    Why life ne’er turned out as he’d planned.
    He soon realised;
    The music he prized
    Had been silenced – his fave band was banned

  3. We sang along with the boat band
    A group of us making a stand
    Singing old and new
    And happy or blue
    And none of the songs were bland!

  4. That head-banded guy will amaze
    As he plays his song, Purple Haze
    From Experience to Band of Gypsies
    He certainly wowed all the hippies
    I’ll listen to Jimi to the end of my days!

    (The Experience was Jimi’s main band and the first album (are you experienced?) while Band of Gypsies was his last album and what the band called itself.)

      1. Thanks, Esther, glad you liked it 🙂 I think this is at least the third one about music I’ve done recently.

  5. I’d like to entitle this one, ‘Ode to the Sex Pistols’

    Most of my lyrics get banned
    And music, I don’t understand
    But one night whilst drunk
    I listened to punk
    And the next day I started a band.

    1. Super! I really enjoyed it. A great ode.

      1. Actually, it sounds a bit clunky,now that I look at it. Maybe it should be …

        Music? I don’t understand
        This career was not one that I’d planned
        It was one night when drunk
        When I listened to punk
        That I decided to start up a band.

      2. Or …. perhaps … ‘Ode to Woodstock (gone wrong)’ ….

        For reasons I don’t understand
        The whole mission remained under-planned
        So we got to this point
        Where we stopped for a joint
        Then arrived far too late for the band.

  6. When Bill, Jim and I formed our band,
    We thought we had everything planned;
    But while our teeth and hair
    Were beyond compare,
    It was our music no one could stand.

    1. That made me chuckle. Thanks, Geoff.

  7. Hans Solo’s best friend showed no fear.
    Tall and hairy, wearing nowt but bandolier.
    An ace pilot was he,
    And much loved Wookiee;
    Chewbacca celebrates with cosmic root beer.
