Happy Monday! Here’s a fresh limerick challenge to kick-start your week.
Your new word is:
WRITER
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word SHOCK in it somewhere. You produced some laugh-out-loud limericks:
Some people who live in Bangkok
Have ne’er had to season a wok.
Oh sure, it takes time,
Corrosion’s a crime.
Keep going but look at the clock.
Squirreljan:
A teenager was so into glam rock
For a gig, she bought herself a new frock
While dancing and singing
The straps went a-pinging
Her escaping boobs gave Sweet such a shock!
Writing a limerick is fine
When it takes little time.
But today was a shock
As I hit writer’s block
And couldn’t get anything to rhyme.
I got a bad shock when he said
That my favorite kitty was dead
My mom ran him over
Dad buried him in clover
Then our whole family was filled with dread.
Oh what a shock I had today
A old friend had come to stay
He bought a box
Which held a fox!
Now my cats have gone astray!
It came as a considerable shock
When Harold’s groin was hit by a rock
Asked by his wife, ‘If you please,
Can we still hope to conceive,
Now you’re destined to go off half-cock?’
With “Shock the Monkey Tonight”
Peter was funky, all right
What it seems
Ain’t what it means
A primal instinct junky held tight.
Samjgood:
In a village where chickens did squawk,
Lived a rooster named Fred, quite a jock.
He crowed with such flair,
Caught the hens unaware,
Their fainting spells caused quite a shock!
As I stood in the dock,
I looked up at the clock.
Twenty years in the clink,
Lots of time to think.
But better than my head on the block.
The news came as a massive shock
When I answered the postman’s knock
The letter read ‘Dear John’
So sorry, I’ve gone
Off with that Josie who lives round the block.
