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:

STAMP

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

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

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!

Trent’s World:

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.

Richmond Road:

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.

TanGental:

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.’

Lance Greenfield:

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.’

Linking People 2003:

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!

  1. The stamp has gone up in price
    A fact that is not very nice
    When is enough
    Overpricing our stuff
    Guess we’ll switch to some other vice!

  2. Big Bob has my stamp of approval
    For his work at trash removal
    No shovel or barrel
    Or workman’s apparel
    A forum moderator is his true call
    *
    OK, maybe not the greatest last rhyme ever.
    Another one with the same character:

    Big Bob is our forum’s mate
    And the work he does is pretty great
    He always tries
    To correct the lies
    And he works to stamp out hate

    No I won’t was replied
    I’m on the critters side!
    It’s a hedgehog not a snakes head!

  5. I’ve only once given in to glamping,
    When I ended up jumping and stamping
    Which I’d been told
    Would keep out the cold
    But did nothing to stop my butt cramping.

  7. The butterfly that stamped . . . Just So,
    Made Solomon’s palace garden. . . just go!
    The King’s wives were afraid.
    They began to behave,
    And they put on a right royal show.

      1. For those who are not familiar with Kipling’s Just So Stories, this is absolute nonsense.
        Then again, some of the best limericks are exactly that: absolute nonsense.
