Laughing Along With A Limerick

I hope you had a good weekend. Here is this week’s fresh limerick challenge for you. Your word is:

THROAT

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

Trent’s World:

I turned red and thought I’d die

When I dropped my hand upon her thigh

She was close to me

So I aimed for a knee

Her slap was so hard it made me cry…


Gale had a major disaster

When working with her thigh master

She should have known

To leave well enough alone

But she thought she would finish faster.


Trent had a very hard time

To use “Thigh” in a rhyme

His mind in the gutter

He began to mutter

“Aren’t limericks supposed to have grime?”

Keith Channing:

Thy thigh hath my passion inflamed,

How now can my ardour be tamed?

I cannot hold back,

Good mastery I lack,

Hunger for thy warmth hath me shamed.

Nicola Daly:

The recipe said to use ‘thigh’ –

And definitely ‘DO NOT FRY’ !

But I’ve got it all wrong

Cos there’s an awful pong

Now I’ll have to start over again, oh sigh!

Olaf Sturlasson’s Poetry Corner:

I’m a private detective so small

Who works out of a large shopping mall

My name is thigh high

My job private eye

If you need a crime solving just call.

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

She had a huge bruise on her thigh

Where a donkeys hoof had let fly!

It had kicked out hard

While they were in the yard

And she let out an involuntary cry!

Kim Smyth:

A girl I knew with cottage cheese thighs

Was embarrassed to be seen by strangers eyes

She wore Capri pants for a while

But they just weren’t her style

She cares not now who might despise.

Treehugger:

I had a notion to try

A tattoo on my left thigh,

I dallied and dithered,

My confidence withered.

Found a stick on one to buy.

  1. I am sick, if you please
    A soar throat, cough and sneeze
    Home I’ll stay
    So I’ll miss today
    I’m sure Hell won’t freeze

    There once was a cantankerous old goat
    Liked to wear a bow-tie round his throat
    He stopped for a pee
    Realised everyone could see
    And dribbled over his brand new raincoat

  3. I held the theif by his throat
    He had tried to steal my coat
    But my fingers were like butter
    Slipped, and I with heart a flutter
    Shouted at him, you rotten old stoat!

  4. I have something caught in my throat
    It’s either a weasel or stoat
    What’s found in the street
    Is not safe to eat
    But why not? If that floats your boat.

      1. I should point out that I am not endorsing the consumption of roadkill. It’s just words that fit. My mother always told me I should never pick up sweeties off the street and eat them, and if wrapped-up sweeties are dangerous to eat, how much more so must dead animals be!

  6. His hand gripped my throat,

    As I stepped off the boat.

    Frozen with fear,

    I tried to jump clear

    “My wallet is inside your coat”

    Whilst out on the lake in my boat

    Something strange grabbed me by the throat

    It was Nessie, you see

    After her tea

    Human beings go lovely with oats
