Happy new week, everyone! Here’s to a good one.
Your new limerick challenge is:
DINNER
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word SNAKE in it somewhere. You produced some amusing limericks:
I love to pick up a snake
At wildlife parks, I don’t quake
They are smooth and firm
And don’t make me squirm
Fantastic pets they do make!
The garden was needing a rake
Til Missy discovered a snake
She dropped it and ran
Grabbed her neighbor Mr Dan
Who shot it and made the snake ache!
Every year Jim would bake,
For Halloween, a vampire snake;
Served with a clotting jus,
He’d offer you a devil’s brew,
Extra chips and a well-done stake.
I once had a pet anaconda
Of whom I was awfully fond a
Till that one fateful day
The snake slithered away
To somewhere in the wild blue yonder.
Some snakes are more scary than others,
None more so than one of my brother’s.
A ten-foot constrictor
Known fondly as Victor.
Ex-boa, if I had my druthers!
I once had a pet called Jake
He was a six-foot, one-eyed snake.
We couldn’t cuddle,
We got in a muddle.
And he made all my family quake.
