Happy new week! Here’s a fresh limerick challenge to start your Monday.
Your new word is:
CELL
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word GRAVY in it somewhere. You produced some great limericks:
Gravy? Make mine a Bavarian,
Resplendent in goulash Hungarian.
Add piping hot rice,
Vacuum-packed spice.
You’d never guess I’m vegetarian!
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…
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!
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!
I love gravy with all sorts of meat
Made from scratch or from granules – I cheat!
Lamb, beef, chicken or pork
Sausage stabbed with a fork
Gravy makes my meat dinner complete.
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!

The prisoner tripped and he fell
Down the steps on the way to his cell.
Look at it some more,
There’s only one floor!
That’s one more new level of hell!

Do not drive while looking at your cell
The results could turn out not well
You might change lanes
Or slip slide in the rains
Or worse, crash and feel you’re in hell!

“To sea!” cried the sailor, “To sail!”
But his mate (who didn’t hear well);
Thought the cap’t, leaf-turned,
Meant admittance, well-earned;
-As, through jail cell, he kept tryin’ to yell!

A mitochondria in a small cell
Went dizzy and started a spell
Of making new flavours
Of chocolate favours
And created a sweet you could sell

A fraudulent trader called Del
Forged share certificates to sell.
But the Stock Exchange got wise
To his blatant deceit and lies,
So now he’s banged up in a cell.
(I know … it’s kinda cheating a little, but I’m just back my hols, though I think I left my brain about 5,000 miles away. Forgive me. ) 😀

I really enjoyed it – I think that’s great for the first limerick back after your hols. Hope you had a great time.

My best friend’s called Mello-Elo.
She eats ice cream with yellow Jell-O.
If you’re feeling ill
Or just want to chill,
She’ll play you a tune on her mellow cello.
