Happy Monday, everyone! Here’s to a great week 😊
Your new limerick challenge is as follows:
SNEAK
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word WORRY in it somewhere. Here are your masterpieces:
Ritu:
I really don’t know why you worry
When you’re eating that big balti curry
There’s plenty to share
It’s going nowhere
It’s the toilet you’ll need in a hurry!
Why worry what other folk think
Or fret till it drives you to drink?
Relax, wash your feet,
Rinse and repeat,
You’ll soon shrug it off with a wink.
Bob worried about his weight
And kept track of all he ate
It’s no fun
To weigh a ton
And Bob worked to change his fate.

“I’m a great driver,” Kevin said,
As he stomped the accelerator with a ton of lead,
“I’ll make a bet
That a record I’ll set.”
Truthfully, I’m worried we’ll soon be dead.
–
“What, me worry?” he said with a smile
“I’ve been doing this for quite a while.”
The dangerous trick
Went down hill quick
I guess he learned more by error than by trial.
There’s no need to worry in life
With God you should leave all your strife
No worries or woe
That you should know!
You’re promised an everlasting life!
She went into space on a rocket
A beautiful emblem on her pocket
It showed all the crew
Above the Earth, blue.
No worries, just love in a locket.
My wife said, “Please don’t worry,
That your bowels have morphed into slurry;
Your gut was so ripe
To turn good food to tripe
After ten pints and a super hot curry.”
So sorry I’m just in a hurry,
But prithee I pray thee don’t worry.
I will do it in time,
And yes, it will rhyme,
But the ending may be a bit blurry.
Little Lance was in too much hurry.
He’d fall and his mummy would worry.
A badly grazed knee?
She’d soon turn his tears to glee,
By cooking him his favourite curry.
Why worry, what will be will be
Is easy to say, but for me
I’m always awaiting
Or anticipating
An almighty catastrophe.
Chris Page:
A prefer not to say from Surrey,
Had to get to the gents in a hurry,
He lifted his shirt,
Let down his skirt
And said, “They might, but I’m not going to worry.”
