Happy new week! Here’s a fresh limerick challenge to kick-start your Monday.
Your new word is:
PUDDLE
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word COOK in it somewhere. You produced some great limericks:
I’ll do this by hook or by crook,
One day, I will finish this book.
So far, what I’ve written
Has not left me smitten.
Perhaps I should stop and just cook!
‘Cook’ slopped the school-lunch into my tray,
Was that sausage and brisket? It was so hard to say.
But I had to just eat,
If I want my sweet –
(I still hate beef-olives today.)
When learning to use food to cook
It pays to have a good look
At what type of recepies
Use up the necessities
And choose the best cooking book!
To prove myself an exceptional cook
I made a terrine of crow and rook.
The reviews included: ‘you utter dick.’
‘Are you mad?’ ‘You must be sick!’
But commonest was: ‘Holy Fook!!’
Oh how she loved a roll in the hay
Now the cook’s in the family way
Both master and son
Had their fun
Who’s the daddy she couldn’t say.
There was an explorer who found
Some amazing, spectacular Sounds,
Which folk often come see
In the land of kiwi.
His name was James Cook, I’ll be bound.
Linking People 2003:
In an orchard, where sunlight do look,
Growing freshest of fruits, no need to cook!
Solar light warmth, pure and sweet,
Keeps the natural food nutrients neat,
In fruits and vegetables via leaves, no heat ever shook!
