Laughing Along With A Limerick

Happy Monday, everyone! I hope you had a great weekend and here’s to a good week.

Your new limerick challenge is:

DRAMA

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

Keith Edgar Channing:

A lesson that I learned by rote:

You have to get out there and vote.

Just go, make your mark

Use your bite, not your bark

Or be ruled by some useless old scrote goat!

Trent’s World:

The choices aren’t always great

Campaigns of slander full of hate

But if you don’t vote to chose

You will always lose

Letting others decide your fate.

Kim Smyth:

The Batchelor and others are silly

I’d rather watch stuff like “Free Willy”

My hubby grabs a remote

Now I’ve lost my vote

Did you know golf was so hilly?

Richmond Road:

I have an idea that might float

And propose it be put to a vote

That we burn every bra

And just be who we are

Then likewise the tie and the coat.

TanGental:

If one thing would get my dad’s goat

It was if I failed to vote.

But all politicians

Give me conniptions

As it just causes their egos to bloat.

Treehugger:

I live somewhere quite remote,

With my geese, chickens and a frisky goat.

I must make a stand

To preserve this beautiful land.

And canvass a community vote.

  1. A son looked up to his mama
    Who was tired of all of his drama
    Said, “What’s it now?”
    “I just don’t know how!”
    All over proper use of the comma!

  3. She took herself to the embalmer
    Which assurances he wouldn’t harm her
    There were really no pains
    As he cleared out her veins
    Now she feels a bit stiff, but much calmer

    In a village known for its grand drama,
    Lived a musician, a duck and a llama.
    The duck took a stand,
    Stole the show with a band,
    Leaving the musician and llama in trauma!

  5. A double limerick this time (is there such a thing?)

    In order to make things calmer
    I tried, again, to disarm her;
    To offset any harm
    I poured on more balm
    Which did nothing to reduce the drama.
    I really had no wish to harm her
    As I appealed to her inner karma;
    But ignoring my pleading,
    She left me bleeding
    And tied to the charms of Big Pharma.

    1. If there isn’t, there definitely should be such a thing as a double limerick! Fabulous!

  6. Today I was given a llama,
    As a way to deal with my trauma,
    In my face it did spit,
    Not good I admit,
    Perhaps just a wee bit of drama?

    But then it seems I must note,
    In reaction I’ll try not to gloat,
    It went down with a thunk,
    As if it was drunk.
    And I got a lovely new coat!

  8. Do, Di, Re, Ri – that’s chromatic,
    Reaching way up to Ti; i’m ecstatic!
    At least I’m in tune,
    Maybe peaking too soon,
    Although maybe I’m being dramatic

  10. I don’t want to alarm her,
    But nothing I can do will calm her.
    The murder suspense,
    Is ever so tense.
    It’s all a good act of the drama.

  12. Denys shrieked, THERE’S A GHOST IN OUR ATTIC!”
    Tony responded, “Bro, don’t be so dramatic.”
    “Aren’t you scared?”
    “No. I don’t care.
    I’ve never been a spiritual fanatic.”
