Happy Monday! Here’s a fresh limerick challenge to kick-start your week.
Your new word is:
COOK
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word SMART in it somewhere. You produced some witty limericks:
Smart people know stuff, it is true,
More than me and, no doubt, more than you.
According to Mum,
Rexisting is dumb,
They’ll find out whatever you do!
Eric had a pretty slow start
His horses eating grass behind the cart
Always too cool
To try at school
Nobody thought he was very smart.
But when Eric was twenty nine
He began to toe the line
Hard work and smart picks
Provided his life fix
Now Eric is doing quite fine.
There once was a guy that was so smart
The talents he had with his art!
He started with pen and ink
Ended up with sculptures I think
And wow, did they prove he had heart!
A young lad once thought it smart,
To hold a lighted match to his fart.
But he’d drunk too much Coke,
It was no longer a joke,
Rectum? Yes it blew him apart.
My elbow is starting to smart
I’d climbed into an old cart
I was trying to get out
A pound coin and a groat
But I pulled my ligament apart!
Creative writing is a wonderful art
That makes me feel I’m really quite smart
But this self admiration
Ends with the temptation
To finish this rhyme with a fart.
I’ve never been thought of as smart
But I know I’ve got a good heart
Never mind brains
The fact remains
It’s what’s inside that sets people apart.
I dreamed of a wedding, so smart,
With my family all taking part.
The car hit a post,
With my face like a ghost,
I arrived at the church in a dust cart .
