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!
