I hope your new week has got off to a fine start. Here is a new limerick challenge for you. Your word this week is:
POLE
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word GUEST in it somewhere. You came up with some hilarious limericks:
There was a lady had a guest
Invited there cause she was the best
She brought yummy treats
Baked bread and some sweets
Because it was October fest!
I was outside walking with a guest
When the lady with deep thoughts came to rest
She drowned in the air
Asked: Who’s living there?
No words could explain her strange quest.
My patience is put to the test
By a bedmate (not really a guest)
He doesn’t do chores
All night he just snores
But we’re married, for worst or for best.
Ignoring my every protest
Our marriage arranged (s’pose you guessed)
And as well as the noise
It turns out he likes boys
So I lie here deprived and depressed.
So at night we lay still and stay dressed
Then he snores and he bores – what a pest!
So I’ve had an idea
To poison his beer
And be thus of this guest dispossessed.
Olaf Sturlasson’s Poetry Corner:
I had an annoying house guest
Who just wouldn’t give it a rest
He would go on complaining
Which was very draining
And put my patience to the test.
Trevor Belshaw:
I’ve discovered I have a house guest
It’s a mouse, and my cat is obsessed
She sits still and allows
it to run around while she meows
Asking me to get rid of the pest.
Joe answered the door, was distressed
Knew it was because of his guest
His cousin was rude
Caused neighbors dispute
Now the cousin is under arrest.
Guests are expected at eight,
Unless on a train running late.
Exceptionally
Some don’t come till three;
These last must be left to their fate!
Unfortunately I had a “guest”
A little frog upon my chest!
What the cat dragged in?
Then onto (hop) my chin!
I kissed it, but no prince, the pest!
The guest from hell has come to stay
(She’s after a free holiday)
But mother-in-law
Needs showing the door
Or else it’ll be me on my way!
There once was a curious guest,
Whose questions put hosts to the test.
With a wink and a grin,
They asked where to begin,
And left all the others impressed!
My overfriendly house guest,
Is nothing but a pest.
He never stops talking,
Drags me outdoors,walking.
He puts my patience to the test.
Nicola Daly:
Clive the camel set off on his quest
To search for his missing guest
He peeped under the bed
Then scratched his head
And said, ‘Where else could a dormouse rest?’
