Happy Monday! It’s time for this week’s limerick challenge. Your word is:
CHANCE
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word FEAR in it somewhere. You came up with some amusing limericks:
There once was a king (no, not Lear)
Who ruled by engendering fear.
His subjects objected
To taxes collected
Which left their lives awf’ly austere.
Nicola Daly:
There once was a camel called Clive
Jumped off the pier when learning to dive
Said, ‘But my biggest fear
I want to make clear
It’s not scoring five out of five.’
Don’t fear the reaper, it’s said
Although that fills us with dread
You live your life right
Yet soon comes the night
That surely you’ll wake up being dead.
Olaf Sturlasson’s Poetry Corner:
No evil shall I fear
For I am more fearful
Infinitely powerful
It’s me evil should fear.
Many books that I do hold dear
Apparently cause people fear
They spend their free days
Ruin book displays
It’s become a pain in the rear!
I decided to state my biggest fear
Snakes, lightening, give me cheer
I thought of ancient mummies
Horror film ventriloquist dummies
But it’s flying I hate, won’t go near!
Face your fears, oh so easy to say
But for me at the end of the day
When a spider’s in sight
Faced with fight or flight,
I’m the one who’s scurrying away.
