Happy new week, everyone! Here’s to a good one.
Your new limerick challenge is:
SNAKE
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word BELT in it somewhere. You produced some amusing limericks:
If you belt out that song!
You can win a kareoke gong
Don’t sing too loud
Or be too proud
Or hold a note for too long!
Belts to me are too stiff and tight
Yet without one certain outfits don’t look right
Like a mumu style dress
Or that baggy pant mess
But a big belly keeps them upright!
I’m lucky, I’ve always felt
With the hand that I’ve been dealt:
I can eat what I please
Any variety of cheese,
And never have to tighten my belt.
Walking home one night through the rec
Some strange guy grabbed me by the neck
A black belt in Kung Fu
I knew just what to do
It was him crying, ‘What the heck!’
Imagine how awful I felt
Making two extra holes in my belt.
But a man’s got to do
What a man’s got to do
And we all play the hand we are dealt!
I needed to buy a new belt.
My old one had split, buckle bent.
I tried that new shop
But then had to stop
The belts there were all for a tent.
To eat what I liked, I felt,
Tight corsets,in summer I’d melt.
I can now eat my dinner,
And still feel much thinner.
Hurrah for the waspie belt.
