Laughing Along With A Limerick

I hope you all had a great weekend. Here’s to a productive week 😄

Your new limerick challenge is as follows:

BUTTER

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

Kim Smyth:

This hunk Tom had a killer smile

He turned heads, but not for his style

He slayed the girls

With charm and those pearls

And that grin was as wide as a mile!

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

Smile if your heart is breaking

Grin if the house is quaking

Just don’t be sad

If things are bad

Life goes on, the mickey taking!

Trent’s World:

I don’t think Bobby’s very bright

Or perhaps his hat is just too tight

He seemed glad

When things got bad

And smiled when he lost the fight.

Sad Lisa (*) tried a new way

She forced a smile every day

What started blue

Soon turned true

Now Happy Lisa is so gay (**).

(* Sad Lisa is a song by Cat Stevens)
(** – the original meaning of the word – I never asked her about her sexual orientation)

Richmond Road:

A professional model of style

Took a dare to go nude for a while

So that everyone knows

It is not about clothes

When all that you wear is your smile.

TanGental:

When I am asked to compile

Three things that make me smile,

Sport is a must

Friends you can trust,

And farts, both loud and fissile…

Ruth Blogs Here:

Love the soft glow that lights up a smile

Warmth our faces preserve for a while

Happy thoughts still endure

Grow a feeling secure

Like an inch elongates to a mile…

Lance Greenfield:

There was a young lady from Fylde

Who melted men’s hearts when she smiled.

She’d blow them a kiss,

Then she’d bite them and hiss.

Sly Susie was deadly and wild.

  1. Butter on turnips butter on swede
    Makes them taste good, a real treat
    But butter on chocolate
    Butter on a flat white
    Aren’t the yummiest things to eat!

  2. Terry was the best scientist to be found
    But most experiments ended with a frown
    Try as might be
    We would always see
    That the toast landed butter side down

  3. Her heartbeat was all such a flutter
    With a fridge that was always a clutter
    Down on her knees
    Searching for cheese
    When all to be found was just butter.

    BUTTER is made by mechanical means,
    Cheese by chemical means!
    Better to add honey of bee,
    Health beneficial Milk Oil, Ghee,
    Made by thermal means!

  5. Mashie Nibblick despaired of his putter
    Which caused him to constantly mutter,
    ‘It’s a pain in the arse,
    Now the greens are so fast,
    So I’ve covered its head in fresh butter.’

    Miss Bull was all of a flutter
    When Daisy called her a nutter.
    ‘If she tries to shush me,
    Or hush me or push me,
    I’ll have no choice but to butt her.’

  6. Bony Tony was oft heard to utter,
    “Give me toast topped with peanut butter!”
    “Smooth or crunchy?”
    “Oh! Crunchy is munchy,
    And smooth makes me choke and splutter.”

    1. Very good, Lance! I’m happy with either!

      1. Bony Tony was too, to be honest. But without the conflict there is no story. 🙂
