How was your weekend? I hope you had a good one. Here’s a new limerick challenge for you:
VEST
Least week’s prompt was WINK. You came up with some witty limericks:
When I dropped my iPhone in the drink
My children were both tickled pink.
I asked my sweet wife
If she could save my life.
She replied with a smile and a wink.
No, I wasn’t hitting on you!
I had something in my eye, that’s true
Whatever you think
It wasn’t a wink
Now your husband’s made it all black and blue!

No matter the position contrived
Wide awake Dawn arrived
Mr. Sandman stinks
Not giving me 40-winks
It’s morning and I’m sleep deprived.
I thought I saw him wink,
My face lit up bright pink.
But many years have passed,
Alas my youth did not last .
Perhaps it was only a blink.
In the wink of an eye he disappeared
A magician, he had knowledge seared
In his superior brain
he never was seen again
His trick was too good and totally feared!
There once was a man on the brink,
Of thoughts too nefarious to think.
He tried to control
What he felt was vitriol
So he settled fast for mearly a wink.
To warn everyone of a pending stink
Billy Blister Butt would give a sly wink
But silly, Serena flirts oh so much
Reached out to Billy and gave him a touch
Little did she know, he was on the brink…
My cheeks burned a bright shade of pink
Uunder the table I wanted to shrink
Just what was he saying
What game was he playing
Or was it simply an innocent wink?
It happened so fast like a blink
of the eye in the sky should it wink
and the future’s now gone
and the past has moved on
and the present can no longer think.
Sue always wanted a fur coat
Taste simple it had to be mink
Her husband refused to spend
Not real fur – but a nylon blend
Gave the gift with a secret wink.
Fluffy Wink, the half blind cat
Way up on the desk he sat
He’d give you a purr
When you patted his fur
A slap if you were a dirty rat.
There once was a lady called Wink
Uncommonly partial to drink
She said no to her sup
Just said, Fill up my cup!
And she polished it off in a blink.
A perm makes your hair smell of Twink,
Which is enough to make your head stink,
If it gets in your eyes
It stings with surprise
And you find yourself forced to wink.
Someone will think their luck’s in
As they respond to you with a grin,
You slap their face
Cos it’s not the right place
And you kick them hard in the shin!
Olaf Sturlasson’s Poetry Corner:
The was a young man who would blink
Every time he tried to wink
He would close both his eyes
Then with a look of surprise
One day he managed to wink.
