Laughing Along With A Limerick

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

Your new word is:

KNEE

Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word GLUE in it somewhere. You produced some funny limericks:

Keith Channing:

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!

Kim Smyth:

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!

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

Last week’s limerick? I’m blue

The rhyme just wasn’t true

The final word was bad

Which makes me really sad

This time I’ll stick to the format like glue!

TanGental:

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.’

Treehugger:

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.

  1. Bob thought we was awfully tough
    Until he treated Sue very rough
    A knee to his gut
    And a boot to his butt
    Bob soon had had enough

  2. Hi,

    This is my first attempt at the limerick. I hope I’ve posted it in the right place. Apologies if I haven’t.

    My cat got stuck up a tree

    and I’m scared of heights, you see

    but I climbed the ladder

    must be mad as a hatter

    coz I fell off and broke my knee!

  3. Having a knee fixed means pain
    It always hurts in the rain
    It could be arthritis
    Or mean ole bursitis
    It squeaks like a rusty old chain!

    What is that resting on my knee?
    Be gone, you evil biting flea
    Please don’t hurt me
    I’m not worthy
    Ha ha, it’s just a drop of tea.

  5. Old Alfie had trouble, no end.
    With names for those things that could bend.
    Were they elbows or thumbs?
    Were they knees or his bums?
    So, at PT, he’d simply pretend.

  6. KNIGHT OF THE LIMERICK.

    It would have been clear, and easy to see
    The pain I was in as I fell to one knee.
    See, my right has arthritis
    Though I didn’t tell His Highness:
    “For service to poetry, arise Sir Cee Tee.”

  7. My trip was a disaster for me
    I fell and I twisted my knee
    After falling downstairs
    And landing on chairs
    Then stumbling into a tree!

  8. When we’re young, knees are easy to flex
    Getting older, they soon start to vex.
    I have pain in the joint
    And to strengthen my point
    It now hurts just to pick up my specs!

    A golfer was trying to tee
    But whacked himself on the knee
    He said, ‘ouch ouch!’
    ‘I’ll lie on the couch
    Can someone please bring me some tea!’

    There once was a lady called Fee
    Who had a terribly ticklish knee
    First of all up she’d jump
    Then fall down with a thump
    And then had to run off for a pee!

  11. Little Lance was in too much hurry.
    He’d fall and his Mummy would worry.
    A badly grazed knee?
    She’d soon turn his tears to glee,
    By cooking him his favourite curry.

    My little girl is called Denise.
    She’d often fall and graze her knees.
    She’d run and trip
    And sometimes slip.
    I’d tell her to walk but she did as she pleased.

    Bony Tony’s Dad owned a store
    In Storrington near to England’s shore.
    He stocked peas and cheese,
    Had knobbly knees,
    Yet Tony always wanted more.

    There was a young farmer from Cheddar,
    Who fancied a girl called Jane Pedder.
    He went down on one knee,
    Promising limitless cheese.
    She screamed, “YES!” and he went on to wed her.

  12. When Doris Pond plans a knees up

    All her friends, their time, they free up

    For her parties are legendary

    And far from sedentary

    Though increasingly their knees up seize up

  13. A desperate young frauline named Ottilie

    lived her life in a world full of fantasy

    One day she fell for a prince

    who walked with a mince

    but she thought it was his dodgy knee

    I watched him go down on one knee

    He’s going to propose, yippee

    I cried yes too soon

    Felt a right buffoon 

    He was tying his shoelace , you see!

  16. Clapping my hands with glee,
    As for all to see.
    Bunch of flowers in hand,
    And a five piece band,
    He slowly got down on one knee.
