Happy Monday! Here’s a new limerick challenge to kick-start your week.
Your new word is:
TEACH
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word LUCK in it somewhere. You came up with some amusing limericks:
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.
Trevor Belshaw:
On the sofa with my girl Karen Buckie
Things were getting decidedly mucky
She’d just pulled down her frock
When we heard a light knock
And her mum walked, Christ! That was lucky.
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.
Graham Bell:
A limerick challenge with luck
In which you have to use the word luck
I’ll write luck once more
Then luck to make it four
And I’ll finish this rhyme with a fifth luck.
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”!
Nicola Daly:
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.
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!
Just my luck to get caught in the rain
Without brolly or coat – what a pain
So I’ll just have to wait
In my wet soggy state
Till my soaked-through clothes dry out again.
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.’
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.
