I’m sorry I’ve not responded to everyone’s brilliant posts and responses to my challenges – the surgery is taking longer to recover from than I’d thought. So please bear with me.
Your new weekly limerick challenge is
TASTE
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word SAVE in it somewhere. You came up with some great limericks:
Young Lottie, she needed a save,
When last she met coastline and wave;
Because, thinking ‘cruise,’
She stripped to the nude,
And tried an Antarctic sunbathe.
Bobby was a very bad boy
With a talent to vex and annoy
Wasted our time
Didn’t save a dime
Santa won’t bring him a toy!
Save the planet, I hear you all say,
So I do what I can, day by day.
Relax, don’t make haste,
Declare war on waste,
But have a good time, anyway.
There once was a lifeguard so brave,
Who decided to save me from a huge wave,
He acted so fast,
And I felt so daft,
As my swim shorts floated into a big cave.
Olaf Sturlasson’s Poetry Corner:
Save your love my darling, just for me
Send it all the way across the sea
If I am not there
Show me that you care
By saving all your loving just for me.
Cost of living, a crisis, they say
So went out shopping one day
I worked hard to save
Had to borrow from Dave,
Came back with a sausage! Yay!
From a raging ocean she would save
The boy she saw struggling in a wave
On a jet ski she sailed
But it was to no avail
So sad, his name was Dave.
His name was Joe, a soldier brave
Opposing force was Mike the knave
White steeds under both
Maidens seek their troth
But ‘twas vile lives they wanted saved.
