I hope you all had a good weekend. Here’s to a great week 😄
Your new limerick challenge is as follows:
SMILE
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word GAME in it somewhere. Here are your masterpieces:
I lost at my favourite game
My team said that I was to blame
I tried a new tactic
Twas anticlimactic
And turned out exactly the same.
My son just loves to play games
However, they all look the same
All the fighting and killing
I’d rather be chilling
With some that make me use my brain!
My hubby wants a video game
Something that has a train
He’s never played
A console made
To run on a computer brain!
The man with the Hollywood mug
Pulled out my political rug
With no reason why
He endorsed the other guy
And gave a game-changing plug
When Eleanor Elegant sought her fame
Instead she found undying shame.
Her many critics took delight
In describing her as ‘quite the sight’
Less ‘on the up’ more ‘on the game’.

When our first was born we played a game
To conjure up the perfect name.
The registrar, being deaf,
Thought I’d said ‘call him Geoff’
For which, of course I now bear the blame.
Tony’s game was chess in the nude.
He challenged his girlfriend, young Jude.
But, when told his date,
That he was ready to mate,
His meaning was quite misconstrued.
The wonderful Ruth Scribbles has used four prompts in one go!:

DUMB
GLOVE
STEAL
SNEEZE
Dumbo put on a new glove
He had to steal for his love
He started to sneeze
And began to wheeze
He startled a bevy of doves

GAME
BAND
SHOCK
STEW
She only played first* in the game
The band, it was really quite lame
But what a big shock
Guests stewed, then threw blocks
Then ran out, and screamed, “What a shame.”
