Laughing Along With A Limerick

Hello, everyone. Let’s all have a great week!

Your new limerick challenge is:

GUILT

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

Keith Edgar Channing:

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.

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

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!

Trent’s World:

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?

TanGental:

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.’

Quiall:

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!

Lance Greenfield:

There was a long insect called Millie,

Whose shoe bills were totally silly.

One sandal per foot,

To say nothing of boots.

Miss Pede’s socks were pretty and frilly.

Sarian Lady:

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.

Linking People 2003:

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.

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.

  1. The builder still felt a great guilt
    With Racc concrete the roof was built
    The school was shut down
    As the roof made a groan
    But luckily no blood had been spilt!

  2. A girl with guilt, had tears that spilt
    Down her face and onto her lap
    She cried enough
    So her nose was stuffed
    And a Kleenex pile she built!

  3. Guilt is a feeling quite painful
    Unproductive and kind of disdainful.
    It can lead to depression,
    Low spirits, obsession;
    Try doing a job that’s more gainful.

  4. It’s Wales versus Scotland,
    And I’m riven with guilt.
    As we sing Bread of Heaven,
    You can hear us in Nefyn.
    And my partner rocked up in a kilt.

  5. Someone has spiked the teachers’ tea.
    The staffroom was locked, so who has the key?
    He emptied his pockets,
    So all could see:
    “NOT GUILTY!” was Bony Tony’s plea.

  6. With no trace of shame or guilt
    Confident Donnie lifted his kilt
    But when Annie McCloud
    Laughed out loud
    Donnie’s resolve began to wilt
