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:

CURSE

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

Kim Smyth:

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!

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

Stamp on that beast she said!

Make sure the critter’s dead!

No, I won’t was replied

I’m on the critters side!

It’s a hedgehog not a snake’s head!

Trent’s World:

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.

–

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.

TanGental:

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.

Lance Greenfield:

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.

And a rhyme about last week’s BUTTER from Utahan15:

Butter get to it

Whit was what?

Ice breaker

Another risk taker

Prose maker

Thyme.

  2. There once was a man with a curse
    He’d been stuffed in her purse
    He screamed let, “Let me out!”
    She said, “No, you clout!
    Because when I do it’d be worse!”

    (Never cross a woman!)

  3. You think I’ve a bottomless purse?
    Said the woman while driving a hearse-
    It doesn’t really matter
    It’ll never be fatter
    Because DEATH has put on me, a curse!

  4. It can be some sort of curse
    To spend time polishing verse
    When your nouns let you down
    A verbs cause a frown
    And your tenses make you quite terse.

  5. I once had written some verse.
    When something came out of my purse.
    A limerick sprouted,
    And everyone doubted,
    Convinced I’d unleashed a damn curse!

    It’s not often you’ll hear me curse
    But I’m struggling with this verse
    I think I’ll quit
    With this piece of shit
    Before it gets any worse!
