Laughing Along With A Limerick

I hope you all had a good weekend. Here’s a new limerick challenge to kick-start your Monday.

Your new word is:

LUCK

Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word DRAMA in it somewhere. You came up with some amazing limericks:

Keith Channing:

Driving out with my oldest friend, Bruce,

Realised we were dead low on juice.

After filling was done,

Money? Seems I had none.

Anyway, that is still my excuse!

Trevor Belshaw:

One day, young Alice the farmer,

Got stuck in a pen with a llama,

She backed off a bit

When it started to spit

She could have done without all the drama.

Kim Smyth:

With kids drama always occurs

Life with just two is less worse

You have one another

No drama, no bother

Well mostly, but that’s not a curse!

Trent’s World:

Some thought Marsha quite stern

Her glare could scorch and burn

No prima donna

Ignoring all drama

Yet human kindness she did yearn.

Richard starred in the play

A drama by Danny Kaye

A comedy to some

To others quite dumb

It was a farce of the world today.

Cee Tee Jackson:

A politician called Starmer

Caused a terrible drama

When giving his speech today.

He used terrible grammar,

Then started to stammer

And f-forgot what he was t-trying to s-say.

Squirreljan:

There once was an old drama queen

Caused chaos wherever she’d been

Whether a concert or party

Afternoon tea or karate

The fallout was always obscene.

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

My hubby was really into drama

He wad good at playing a farmer

In any old play

About yesterday

His knowledge of tractors? A, llama.

Nicola Daly:

Oh you can’t imagine the drama

When I went on a day trip to Palma!

I got stuck behind a tree

When I went for a pee

And then spat on by a cross llama!

Ruth Blogs Here:

As the drama of surgery loomed

And my growing anxiety bloomed

I was put at my ease

With a joke and a tease

Mood much better, no longer felt doomed.

Richmond Road:

I had no intention to harm her

No plan to induce such a drama

But my attempt to be charming

She found so alarming

That she bit me and claimed it was karma.

Tangental:

In times of heightened drama

We may turn to the Dalai Lama

Who says: ‘early to bed’

And ‘eat less bread’

Which is sure to make us all calmer.

Sharon’s Writers Tidbits:

There was a girl called Pamela

Who lived in Panama

She was so dizzy

Was always in a tizzy,

Oh, the drama when she lost her bra!

Treehugger:

I don’t want to alarm her,

The last thing I need is a drama.

But I did see her Barry,

Kissing her best friend, Carrie.

Was it fate or maybe just karma.

  1. There once was a lass from Bagdad
    Whose luck was nothing but bad
    Limericks thus stated
    Are usually X-rated
    So I will keep her family-friendly, if sad

    I won’t pretend to be a great bard
    Writing poems is quite hard!
    If my poem is good
    It’s understood
    I must have drawn a lucky card

    The robber was clean out of luck
    When he drove off in my favourite truck
    He hadn’t a clue
    In the back were my crew
    Who would all give him a nasty left hook

  3. Some guys have all the luck
    They can buy the biggest truck
    But money isn’t all there is
    To have a life that leads to pure bliss
    Love of God will have you awestruck!

  5. When Robin Hood met Friar Tuck
    He thought, “Who’s this overfed schmuck?”
    When he saw Tuck was carryin’
    The gorgeous Maid Marion
    He could tell Tuck the schmuck brought him luck.

  6. Finally I have had some good luck,
    I found lots of gold in a truck,
    it was hidden away,
    in an old parking bay,
    at the home of the Pirate called “Hook”!

  7. Said the Duke, while shooting, ‘I’m struck.’

    ‘That one needs, when explaining, some luck,’

    ‘To avoid being befuddled,’

    ‘And getting murds wuddled,’

    ‘As one descibes the perfect pheasant pluck.’

  8. First in to bat but no luck.

    To my plan I religiously stuck.

    The bowler, formidable,

    My batting, abominable.

    My innings were out for a duck.
