Happy Monday! Here’s a fresh limerick challenge to kick-start your week.
Your new word is:
BRUSH
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word CHAIR in it somewhere. You produced some great limericks:
Chair-bound in the barber’s shop,
Hating his choice of bebop.
All the day long
I hear the same song
Relentless, I wish it would stop!
There once was a gal nicknamed ‘Chair’
-Who hid her dear secret with care:
That, strange or unique,
Her parents, oblique,
Had actually named poor Chair ‘Loveseat.’
Today I got a new chair
Well second hand to be fair…
It’s got a wobble
Which could be trouble
And is really making me swear!
‘The board was a bit of a ‘mare’,’
Said sad failed candidate Claire.
‘I caused a commotion,
By passing a motion,
While trying to talk through the chair.’
As he lent over to cut my hair,
I felt relaxed,without a care.
Closed my eyes for a nod,
Up popped Sweeney Todd.
I leapt out of the barber’s chair.
