Happy Monday to you all. Here’s a new limerick challenge for you. Your word is:
SHOWER
Last week’s prompt was FUNNY. You came up with some super limericks:
Nicola Daly:
There once was a kangaroo
Who was friends with a bear called Pooh
She said, ‘It’s so funny
That bears like honey
But now I must hop off to look for Roo.’
Sink Her
So, her mother said honey
Better learn to be funny
Because you have the looks
Of dead fish upon hooks.
Marriage prospects aren’t sunny.
I hope not to bore ’em
But a funny thing happened on the way to the forum
As you know
I loved that show
Stephen Sondheim – I adore him!
Kate In Cornwall:
Sunny Malone’s funny bone wasn’t funny anymore
She was fed up with bashing her elbow on a jutting cupboard door
She cried, “That’s enough”
It’s time I got tough.”
As she wrestled that door to the floor.
Father’s strange predilections are worse,
Uncle Nigel records them in verse.
No one can deny it
Nor hope to defy it
Yet still it does seem quite perverse.
It is funny how nightmares don’t seem
quite so spooky when in a daydream.
In the night, light is dark.
In the day, wolves don’t bark.
So relax. Wait till night comes to scream.
In order to be a good limerick crafter,
It’s the setup and punchline that matter.
If those things are funny
And the rhyme’s on the money,
You’ll deliver the laughter you’re after!!!
There once was this chick who was funny
Her sarcasm dripped like sweet honey
Sometimes she was crass
Which really irks my a$$
And makes me hate that she makes money!
There once was a girl name Sunny,
Who hated to spend any money.
She had her first dollar,
Tucked under her collar.
Died alone which is not very funny.
John’s nose was always runny,
His family thought it was funny:
Till he blew it one day
And his hair fell away
And his head is now permanently sunny.
My funny bone started to throb
When I hit my elbow on the hob
The pain was immense
Let crying commence!
Not funny so I started to sob!
Rall:
it’s not funny honey
how those advertising creeps
are stealing our money
i’m not shopping anymore
we’ll just have to learn to be poor
when the mattress falls apart
we’ll sleep on the floor
Flop Sweats
There once was a stand-up comic named Sonny
Who thought every joke he told was funny
But his timing was bad
And the crowd just looked sad
So he went into politics to make money.
Indigestion
There once was a
fat fluffy bunny
Who found himself
covered in honey
Along came a bear
In one gulp said,
“that’s one tasty hare”
but soon after,
his tummy
felt funny
There once was a small dog named Sunny
who looked and smelled kind of funny
if you scratched behind her ears
she’d run and fetch you a beer
so the townsfolk said ‘that dog’s a honey!’
Olaf Sturlasson’s Poetry Corner:
Bojo the clown thought it funny
If no-one could earn any money
So he locked them all down
Barred them from town
And being outside when it’s sunny.
That Ain’t Funny
I thought to myself, this ain’t funny.
Meta thinks I am a dummy.
Stole my data? That sucks.
Paid me thirty-five bucks.
They got rich and I got treated crummy.
There once was a fiesta so funny,
The piñata was filled with hot honey.
The dancers all twirled,
As sombreros unfurled,
And everyone laughed till it was sunny.
When I try to write a poem that’s funny,
It causes my nose to be runny,
I don’t have an issue,
I’ve an available tissue,
it pays to be a smart bunny.
Old Crooner
There was a goat who liked to croon,
He practised all day his fine tune,
His high notes were funny,
They shocked every bunny,
But oh how the nannies did swoon.
Poor Cousin Bob looked terribly funny,
His teeth stuck out like a cartoon bunny.
He was always picky,
Hands constantly sticky,
As all he ate was brown bread and honey.
It’s Lonely
You know, it isn’t funny
When you run out of money.
Having no dollars to spend
Means you have no friends.
You are on your own, honey.
If you spend time outside when it’s sunny
Your Cornetto will go very runny
Any drips that are found
Can be licked off the ground
Though the ice cream will taste rather funny.
Woger, the colonel of the wegiment
Had an embarring speech impediment
On the King’s parade
He was required to say
The woyal wegiment of wifles, wight turn!
From the King we learn
From subsequent testimony
He thought it widiculosly odd and wather funny.
It’s quite funny how life turns about
Even when you’re consumed with self doubt
You might find you can fly
Never know till you try
Spread your wings, take a leap, and find out!
Table For One
An alien green, with eyes big and bright,
Dined out at a bistro one night.
He slurped up all his food,
Then burped loudly, how rude!
What a funny and outrageous sight!
I once thought I was a funny
funny funny bunny
When I woke up
I was a pup
Now that’s what I call funny.
We thought it hugely funny,
When he appeared with a jar full of honey .
You’re not Poo, take heed,
It’s a carrot you need,
You’re supposed to be the Easter Bunny.
Resa:
Weighing in
All I can say
Tons of fun here
On Limerick day.
