How was your weekend? I hope it was a good one. Here’s a new limerick challenge to kick-start your Monday.
Your new word is:
SPELL
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word MIND in it somewhere. You produced some great limericks:
The brain is astutely designed
To sense danger in front or behind.
Each time I spy trouble,
I bend myself double
Long as it don’t see me, I don’t mind
There once was a man of a mind
To search and see what he could find
Here he went and there
And saw not much anywhere
So he returned home sitting on his behind.
My mind is a-buzzing today
All sorts of things twirling away
I’m sitting around
Eyes on the ground
Life sometimes just gets me that way!
Nicola Daly:
Said the captain of the ‘Golden Hind’
When he stopped chewing on his bacon rind
‘It’s so plain to me
That when I sail the sea,
Rain is something I really do mind!’
–
Sometimes I procrastinate and get behind
When the words I need I just can’t find
That’s why I say
It’s time to play
‘Cos writing limericks helps my mind!
He said that true love is blind,
It requires a meeting of minds:
But what makes my heart to glow
It’s her lack of B.O.
Her own teeth and perfect behind.
When there’s something on my mind,
My workmates are not kind.
As I struggle to concentrate,
I can hear, “What’s wrong mate?
Have you left your brains behind?”
