Laughing Along With A Limerick

Happy Monday. Here is a new limerick challenge. Your word this week is:

TEAM

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

Squirreljan:

There once was a woman whose style

Hid a toxic persona so vile

That it didn’t come to light

Even when she got into a fight

Because she continued to smile.

Roberta Writes:

With her usual clumsy style

She stumbled going doing the aisle

When she fell ass over tit

The back of her dress did split

And she landed in a great pile.

Nicola Daly:

Remember the witch from Carlisle?

Who rides a broom with incredible style

She won gold playing Pooh Sticks

At the Paris Olympics

Then zoomed on her broom for a mile.

Olaf Sturlasson’s Poetry Corner:

There was a young woman with style

Who romanced a young man for a while

They went on a date

And he got her home late

So her dad forced them both down the aisle.

Trent’s World:

There once was an evil guy

Very popular – don’t ask why!

Though no sense of style

He could certainly beguile

His fans believed his every lie.

The Bag Lady:

When Helen dressed it took a while

Always wanting the latest style

Then she felt it happen

The shoes she had clamped on

Fell apart when walking an aisle.

It took just a very short time

Her composure less than sublime

She yanked off the shoes

Everyone’s amused

Danced rest of the hall with a smile.

Richmond Road:

I’ve done well with girls for a while

Though I’m lacking both in charm and in style

I’m ugly as hell

I’m fat and I smell

But I have this magnificent smile.

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

The man of the moment, his style

Was really peculiar and vile

But because he had money

People’s attitudes were sunny

Behind his back? They ran a mile!

Treehugger:

If the catwalk stretched for a mile,

I would pose, smile and beguile.

I would act oh so gracious,

Flirtatious and vivacious.

The ultra epitome of style.

Kim Smyth:

There once was a girl with no style

Her clothes definitely didn’t beguile

Shorts were too short

Shirts with no sport

Cause she hadn’t been shopping in a long while!

Sexagenarian Scribbler:

When it comes to fashion and flair

I just wear want I want to wear

Comfort beats style

By a country mile

What’s hot or what’s not I don’t care!

  1. The Olympics, the GB team
    Got up quite a head of steam
    Medalling in hockey
    And dressage jockey
    Their gold medals all were agleam!

  2. The team got all around gold
    A spectacle to behold
    But Biles did the best
    Having been put to the test
    She can retire now before she gets old!

  3. I jumped at the sound of a scream
    Emanating from just up the stream.
    It sounded at first
    Like a piggy had burst.
    Turns out, ’twas the tug-of-war team!

    As I somersault along the beam
    I’m cheered on by my screaming team
    So why am I on a slimey log?
    In the middle of a cold, wet bog?
    Ah, it was all a golden dream.

    Oh my goodness, what a wonderful team

    Without doubt, they are the crop of the cream

    They have a wonderful tag

    Each one’s a beautiful ‘BAG’

    Bee Appy Girls will always reign supreme

    This is an acronym I gave the women of the construction company I work for quite a few years ago based on footballers’ WAGs . We’d been camping and some did canoeing (not me!). I’ve changed the company name of course. I couldn’t resist the prompt.

  7. To be on the G.B.team,

    Was Marigold’s impossible dream .

    On the bars and the vault, Was it all her fault?

    Confirmed when she fell off the beam .

  8. My life’s a bewildering dream
    In which nothing is how it might seem
    Are you tired and confused?
    Despised and abused?
    Then baby, we’re on the same team.

    There is no ‘I’ in team, that is true

    But there is an ‘M’, an ‘E’ but no ‘U’

    Whatever you say

    We’ll do it my way

    If you don’t like it, you know what to do!
