Laughing Along With A Limerick

Happy Monday! Time for a new limerick challenge. Your word this week is:

WORST

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

Trentpmcd:

Tom had a beard that wouldn’t stop

Like the guys from ZZ Top

From his face

To his waist

It would make a really good mop!


The guys at the office, Molly feared

Would hit on her, making things weird

So at the ball

She fooled them all

And brought Tony as a bear.

Squirreljan:

The man in the white van has a beard

Apart from that horror, he’s not weird

He works really hard

Never had a red card

In truth, he should really be revered.

John W. Howell:

Their once was a man mother reared,

Who wanted to grow a new beard.

He requested a hearing,

Of mama endearing.

Only to have his desire be queered.

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

The steak on his table was seared

Dripping with juices, he feared

He’d wanted it well done

But it came back under done

And now grease was stuck in his beard!

The Bag Lady:

Poor Joe they all thought he was weird

Reason was his horrible beard

Long and fuzzy looked like a nest

Birds in it when he was at rest

Tragedy struck the day it was seared.

Annette Rochelle Aben:

Abandoned zucchini fell

Into a deep, flour well

Blended with eggs, spice and such

Baked until tender to touch

Lived a crumby life, heard tell.

Keith Edgar Channing:

Before my beard’s length is absurd

Each part can be trimmed by a third.

A snip here and there

Reshaping the hair

Doesn’t impact the nest of my bird.

Kim Smyth:

Joshua’s beard was so long

It almost had a life of its own

He groomed it with oil

Highlighted it with foil

But a rainbow beard just looks wrong!

Richmond Road:

A difficult balance she feared

Being different, but not being weird

Doing things her own way

Being butch but not gay

Growing breasts as well as a beard.

Olaf Sturlasson’s Poetry Corner:

There was a young lass with a beard

Who people regarded as weird

She just wouldn’t shave

Or like a lady behave

Until the day; like a sheep she was sheared.

Treehugger:

I’ve never seen anything as weird,

As my uncle sporting a beard,

He resembles a gnome,

When he gives it a comb.

Pass me the scissors and have it sheared.

Sexagenarian Scribbler:

It was true, just as I had feared

When I tugged hard on Santa’s beard

With a ho ho ho

Then a no no no!

It was daddy’s face that appeared.

Utahan15 has given us their thoughts on the theme:

i am have a grey beard

face grown long

movember

remember

next monday

sam will shave

and dehair my ears too!

Gene has given us something interesting for us:

Steeped in tradition

Albeit a bit superstitious

A beard dons more than a few faces during the National Hockey League playoffs

With some players believing that their beards

If left uncut will lead to hoisting Lord Stanley’s Cup.

  4. There once was a man who was cursed
    Because his behavior was the worst
    So the witch cursed his name
    He then fell from fame
    Now the curse will be lifted on the first.

  5. Listening to a song from a timid guy
    is like trying to call his voice with denial hun
    every time his talent comes near
    all the worst comes out as sex appeal
    he is the precious kind is never done

  6. One time I visited a house flood
    It gushed through the door wood
    What made it the worst?
    It was from a frozen burst!
    Water made a lake in the neighbourhood!

      1. It really happened! Water tank froze and split in the loft. The tenant was on holiday so the 4 story house was locked and the heating switched off. First thing we knew was water forcing it’s way out through a split in the front door when the weather warmed up!

  7. They rehearsed and rehearsed and rehearsed
    But the play seemed incurably cursed
    Nothing went right
    On opening night
    And each subsequent night was the worst

  9. Thanks for the mention Esther. Here is the next.

    There once was a man from Pine Hurst,

    Who’s piano playing is labelled the worst.

    He pounds on the keys,

    Even using his knees.

    Till every eardrum in the place is burst.

  10. The Devil smiled: ‘I’m well versed’
    ‘In the best of ways to leave you cursed.’
    ‘I could make you a lifelong vegan,
    ‘Or a leading light in Team Meagan.’
    ‘You choose: which is the worst?’

  14. I can’t think of anything worst,

    waiting for a boil on my backside to burst

    I can’t sit still .

    I feel so ill.

    I do believe I’ve been cursed .

  15. He was woke. He was broke. He was cursed
    by some demons who got to him first
    then a witch (maybe two)
    then that wizard who knew
    that a wizard’s most likely the worst.
