Laughing Along With A Limerick

Happy new week! Here’s a fresh limerick challenge to kick-start your Monday.

Your new word is:

GLUE

Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word WRITER in it somewhere. You produced some laugh-out-loud limericks:

Keith Channing:

When money was tight, getting tighter,

My mum and dad pulled an all-nighter.

They said, “Listen, whelp,

What can you do to help?”

I replied, “Not a thing – I’m a writer!”

Kim Smyth:

A writer was hoping for luck

But his readers did not give a puck

He wrote for a prize

But his editors realized

That the guy’s writing really did suck!

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

A writer played a trick on a friend

Wrote that he was going off to Ostend

But it wasn’t true

April 1st was the clue

Foolish friend said “You made me feel blue!”

Richard Felix:

A talented young writer named Brite,

Composed with talent and might.

Her words flowed with grace,

A smile on each face,

As readers basked in her light.

Treehugger:

My friend decided to be a writer,

Discretion was not her best point,

She wrote a secret and tale,

Which landed her in jail,

It had all come back to bite her.

  1. Last week’s limerick? I’m blue
    The rhyme just wasn’t true
    The final ward was bad
    Which makes me really sad
    This time I’ll stick to the format like Glue!

  3. Working with glue is tough
    It sticks to my fingers and stuff
    Working with wood is the worst
    It sticks to your fingers first
    Now you really have it rough!

    (cause your fingers stick to everything but what you want glued!!)

  4. I know that you think I am thick
    And it’s fun to try out a new trick
    But I need to know who
    Went wild with the glue
    And stuck my breadstick to a brick!

  5. Two this week

    A trainee young chef, called Hugh,

    Developed his signature stew;

    ‘Delicious if sticky,’

    Said one critic, Dickie,

    While another said, ‘Just good for glue.’

    ‘Nose pickings,’ said Marjory Grew,

    ‘Have a wonderful, all-natural glue.’

    ‘By rolling and folding.’

    ‘And carefully moulding,’

    ‘You can make condoms, cheap, for the few.’

  7. My boyfriend swore to be true,
    Then I saw him with my best friend, Sue.
    I couldn’t care less,
    I don’t need the stress.
    We were never bonded like glue.
