Happy Monday, everyone! Here’s to a productive week.
Your new limerick challenge is:
BELT
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word DRAMA in it somewhere. You produced some highly entertaining limericks:
I’m in a drama soon to say
The Mock Mayor part again to play
Lord of misrule
Playing the fool!
Fun the Newcastle-under-Lyme Way!
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!
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 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.
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!
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.
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.
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.”
Linking People 2003:
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!
