How was your weekend? For those of you in England, it’s a bank holiday today. I hope you’re enjoying it. Here’s a new limerick challenge to kick-start your Monday whether you’re off work or toiling away.
Your new word is:
DRAMA
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word ZOOM in it somewhere. You came up with some very funny limericks:
I sat all alone in my room
Addressing my workmates on Zoom.
The whole of the meeting
Was ever so fleeting
From beginning to end… va-va-voom!
I once had a car that went vroom!
In fact that thing could really zoom!
But soon had to sell it
My hubby it never fit
Now, I might as well just drive a broom!
The modern world makes me sick
For everything occurs too quick!
Zooming here
Tweeting there
Everything is “now” at a click.
There was an old man from Khartoum,
Who invented machines in his room.
When once he was asked
His most difficult task
Said: “a 5-speed Sudan Chair with ‘zoom’.”
I zoomed up the motorway
To go to Wales for a stay
I went to Pwllheli
Which was very very
Beautifully sunny today.
Nicola Daly:
Remember the witch from Carlisle?
Well, today she had a big toothy smile
She showed them on zoom
How to fly on her broom
And in the most fabulous style!
‘Your task,’ said the chairman, on Zoom,
‘Was to trigger a holiday boom.
Instead, it’s a shock,
To find you sell rock,
In the shape of the Nude Bather of Frome.’
Carol Miers:
I wish to be never apart
The clock on the wall cannot start
The buzz of the bee
The hop of the flea
The zoom of the tick of your heart.
When anyone suggests I use zoom,
I have a sinking feeling of doom.
I am way past sixty,
My brain not so nifty,
Prefer to speak or meet in a room.
