How was your weekend? Cold, if you live here in the UK! Here’s an apt new limerick challenge for the start to this week:
SNOW
Least week’s prompt was CHANGE. You came up with some great limericks:
There once was a man from Boston
With a house big enough to get lost in
The change in his couch
Could fill a pouch
And dress half the world in Halston
After we decked the hall
And watched the dropping of new year’s ball
I wish most sincere
As we start the new year
Is for peace and love to all.
The girl set her goals within range
She knew it was time for a change
She tried to lose weight
Which turned out really great
Now she’s skinny but strange.
There once was a man from La Grange,
Who felt victim of a severe shortchange.
He shouldered an arm
And threaten to harm
Those who ordered his clock to change.
Change the bulb, came the cry
From the downstairs flat guy
No I said, it’s your turn
I did it last time, got a burn!
So he did and I saw his hair fry!
Change into the right clothes
Because heaven knows
If you arrive dressed
Not wearing your best
In your face, doors close.
Our words work to force through a change.
Witlessly lives rearrange.
Though one truth can be true
while the false ones won’t do
our true words grow deceptively strange.
‘Please, doctor, tell me it’s not true
It’s just the change I’m going through.’
‘There’s no doubt,’ he replied
I just sat there and cried
I’m expecting at fifty-two!
Squirreljan:
There once was a time we embraced change
And were true to ourselves, with no range.
It’s much harder these days
As we’re set in our ways
This year, let’s let out our inner strange!
Olaf Sturlasson’s Poetry Corner:
There was a young man who could sing
His vocals a wondrous thing
He had quite the range
And his voice he could change
To sound like the rock ‘n’ roll king.
