Laughing Along With A Limerick

Happy Monday! Here’s a new limerick challenge to start your week.

Your new word is:

GRAVY

Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word DIET in it somewhere. You produced some amusing limericks:

Keith Channing:

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!

Quiall:

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!

TanGental:

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.

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

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’!

Kim Smyth:

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!!

Ruth Blogs Here:

Think I need me a healthier diet

Too much rich food just causes disquiet

My digestion complains

At my adipose gains

And creates quite an internal riot…

  1. Gravy? Make mine a Bavarian,
    Resplendent in goulash Hungarian.
    Add piping hot rice,
    Vacuum-packed spice.
    You’d never guess I’m vegetarian!

  2. A lady who’s hair was quite wavy
    Really did love her gravy
    She poured it on biscuits
    Or dipped in her triscuits
    She’ll get along fine in the Navy!

  3. Amongst the vegans, I say this bravely:
    My favourite meal is lamb and gravy;
    And while I’ll risk it
    Over bisto and brisket,
    I know such honesty will not save me…

  4. Get on the gravy train she said
    All your problems will be dead
    But though I bought shares
    In apples and pears
    The resulting profit could not keep me fed!

  6. There was an inventor called Davy
    Whose inventions were sometimes quite crazy.
    He crossed a spud with a sponge.
    It tasted like grunge,
    But it sure held a whole lot of gravy!
