Laughing Along With A Limerick

Hello, everyone. Here’s to a great week!

Your new limerick challenge is:

SANDALS

Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word SPIDER in it somewhere. You produced some hilarious limericks:

Keith Edgar Channing:

A spider’s an eight-legged creature

Whose four eyes are quite a neat feature.

Some big ones are hairy,

Which makes them more scary;

My golly! I sound like a teacher!

Kim Smyth:

There once was a cute little spider

Who slid down his silk right beside her

The lady then smiled

Stayed to visit a while

Then the pair read her book with each other!

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

I once met a spider on a walk-oh

Hung by its legs from a hedgerow

It had a big grin

And it was in a spin

As it twisted and turned all around-o!

Trent’s World:

As Miss Muffet watched that spider

That came and sat beside her

Another, if you please

Got into her cottage cheese

Now that spider is inside her.

The Who sang of a spider named Boris

In a song that certainly won’t bore us!

Cool musical choices

And silly voices

And a two word chorus.

TanGental:

Itsy, a six legged spider,

Bottled her hurt deep inside her;

Until a kind chap called Jim

Offered prosthetic limbs

And she put her troubles behind her.

Quiall:

I once came across a great web,

It filled the others with dread!

Then along came a spider,

As I sat down beside her,

I realized I was about to be dead!

Sarian Lady:

Miss Muffet, I can’t abide her

For dissing George, my pet spider.

She screams and she shouts,

She stamps and she pouts.

Poor George, she could have been kinder.

  1. The centurion was quite irate
    With a small problem full of hate
    Nothing he couldn’t handle
    Just a bur in his sandal
    The kind that makes you show up late
    *
    Brian, the prophet new
    Gave us the sign of his shoe!
    His sandal found
    On the ground
    I’m following him, how about you>?

      1. Thanks, Esther. No way I was going to let the word “sandal” by without a reference to “Life of Brian”…

  2. Taking a walk on the beach,
    The ocean was just within reach.
    I just hadn’t thought,
    That the sand was so hot,
    I need sandals I loudly beseech!

  3. Dr Foster stepped in a puddle
    so deep it went up to his middle!
    His sandals got wet
    And shoes he did get
    To replace his footwear, what a muddle!

  4. In one of the worst marriage scandals
    Terry boasted about June’s love handles.
    In a fit of disgust
    June said, ‘Never trust
    A man who wears socks with his sandals.’

  5. There was a long insect called Millie,
    Whose shoe bills were totally silly.
    A sandal each foot,
    To say nothing of boots.
    Miss Pede’s socks were pretty and frilly.

    In a town where the beaches expand, alls
    Sunbathers lay with their toes in the sand, alls
    Adorned in bright sandals,
    Like sun-kissed vandals,
    Building castles, in a summer land scrawl.

    S for Spiritual, S for Sandals, 👡 🩴
    Feet without Sandals! 🦶 🦶 👣
    Rishi Sunak and Akshata Murthy 🧘 🧘‍♀️
    Seeking spiritual comfort, being Mathy, 🧮 🧮
    Greatest of all comforts without Sandals! 🩴 👡

    In spirituality and sandals, both hand-in-hand,
    Barefoot they tread, across the sacred land.
    Rishi Sunak and Akshata Murthy embrace,
    Math’s solace in their peaceful space,
    Serene comforts, sans sandals in the sand.

  8. I need to be really discreet
    When skipping alone in the street
    A slight hint of scandals
    Whilst wearing my sandals
    Is incredibly bad for my feet

  9. He tends to shop in Saville Row,
    To be trendy and always in vogue.
    But sandals and socks,
    How everyone mocks.
    They conclude he’s a fashion rogue.
