Happy new week! I hope you all have a great one.
Your new limerick challenge is:
TRIP
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word SHOWER in it somewhere. You produced some limericks to make us laugh:
Today it started to shower
And watered a poor little flower
That had got very dry
Under a cloudless sky –
A watering can has great power!
Do those in power take a shower
When it’s time to go up in the tower
Or do they take baths
Despite other’s laughs
No matter, as long as they don’t smell sour!
I wake tired and torn
But take a shower each morn
And, for goodness’ sake
It makes me more awake
As fresh as when I was born.
Is it a sin to pee in the shower?
Some may think so and others may glower.
It saves a cistern of water,
So didn’t we oughta,
Save the planet by peeing in the shower?
It didn’t take much to make Dad glower
At the first mention of flower power
He’d become uncouth
About feckless youth
Who he’d call an ‘utter shower’.
Whilst preparing a nice sweet and sour,
I awkwardly spilt all the flour.
Lost my footing and sat
In a bowlful of fat.
I’ll be back when I’ve had a quick shower!
I’m still frightened to shower and wash my mohawk.
My wife thinks I’m weird, and perpetually mocks.
But I prefer a bath to get clean
Since watching that scene,
In ‘Psycho’ by Alfred Hitchcock.
If only it could be in my power,
To nourish sunflowers with a daily shower.
They’d perk up with delight,
A miraculous sight.
Capturing a sunburst in flower.
I trust in the Lord to lead the way
In everything that I do and say
When it comes to lust
I do what I must
Just have a cold shower and pray.
