I hope you all had a great weekend. Here’s to a productive week 😄
Your new limerick challenge is as follows:
CHILD
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word CURSE in it somewhere. Here are your masterpieces:
There once was a man with a curse
He’d been stuffed in her purse
He screamed, “Let me out!”
She said, “No, you clout!
Because when I do it’ll be worse!”
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!
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.
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!
Val Fish:
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!
