Happy new week! Here’s a fresh limerick challenge to set you up for the week.
Your new word is:
DIET
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word TRAIN in it somewhere. You produced some funny and cheeky limericks:
Tomorrow, I’m catching a train,
Riding southward from Donny to Spain
A few weeks ago
I went with the flow
Now something is hurting my brain.
Casey was a rail engineer
He drove a train without peer
On the fatal night
A stopped freighter out of sight
Casey’s heroic actions cost him dear.
If you’ve ever commuted, you’ll know the pain,
Stuck every day, on a bus or train,
Breathing in fetid breath
Containing hints of coming death
And then you do it again and again…
An 0-6-0 train sped by
On a viaduct high in the sky
With a clatter and rattle
Like an army in battle
White steam around it did fly!
I rode once on the Tarantula Train
Luckily it wasn’t in the rain
We solved a murder
While eating our lunch order
And no one felt any pain!
I hope it doesn’t rain,
As I patiently wait for my train.
With luggage and cases,
To see different places.
Umbrella up, all hopes are in vain.
Angie is no scatterbrain,
She’s well known from New York to Maine.
Groups of men she’d amaze,
When her skirt she would raise
And say, “Boys now queue up for the train.”

Staying on a diet is hard
When you dig butter and lard
You have to be strong
For it to last long
Or you’ll never see the final reward!!

My wife just put me on a diet,
Insisted I should at least try it.
When she’s not about
I get Mars bars out
And just like the Scots, I deep-fry it!

My diet is a bit up and down
Maybe a mint choc chip crown?
I’ll eat that one day
Then protein and whey
I just say that I’ve ‘overgrown’!

The recipe said I should fry it.
Maybe I really should try it.
Put a dollop of cream,
And some chocolate between,
I think I love this new diet!

On TikTok, they revamped an old diet
Which has caused some users to riot.
If you’re hungry, of course
You must, ‘eat a horse’.
Go on, try it, before you decry it.

Other horses are available for vegans: the stalking horse made from brassica left overs is especially popular while the clothes horse contains a years worth of fibre in each portion…
