A series of (non-acrostic) limericks produced in response to various prompts.
These will appear on Saturday mornings wherever possible.
Let me know what you think.
RENEWAL
for Kristian – https://talesfromthemindofkristian.wordpress.com/2021/01/02/renewal-2/
I ordered a small dish of gruel
And pumped in two gallons of fuel.
I said: “Sorry, Honey,
I have to save money
To pay the insurance renewal!”
BRILLIANT
for Kristian – https://talesfromthemindofkristian.wordpress.com/2021/01/03/brilliant/
The man in what’s called number ten
Has done something stupid again.
Is he really brilliant
Or merely resilient?
We may one day find out – but when?
MEAL
for Esther – https://esthernewtonblog.wordpress.com/2021/01/04/laughing-along-with-a-limerick-40/
It’s hard to explain how I feel
About cooking a high-protein meal.
I don’t enjoy turkey
And I cant stand beef jerky
So I guess it’ll have to be veal.
BALK
for Kristian – https://talesfromthemindofkristian.wordpress.com/2021/01/04/balk/
An angry young man from Darjeeling
Balked at habits he found unappealing.
Whatever could make
Someone toss a pancake –
And must it end up on his ceiling?
AWKWARD
for Kristian – https://talesfromthemindofkristian.wordpress.com/2021/01/06/awkward-2/
The most awkward condition I know
Is a leader who just can’t let go,
But keeps on inciting
With lying and fighting.
He asked, and the people said NO.
MESMERISING
for Kristian – https://talesfromthemindofkristian.wordpress.com/2021/01/07/mesmerizing/
Some events that today are arising
Are compelling, perhaps mesmerising;
But the thing I do find
That they all bring to mind,
Is that none is the least bit surprising.
GIN
Just for fun
I once had an aunty called Win,
And she was quite fond of her gin;
But there was no doubt
When the priest was about
She’d hide it, cos it was a sin!
These were a lot of fun! I enjoyed them very much.

You’re welcome, Keith. It’s always good when writing is fun. That isn’t always the case!

Random and fun. I like the one about the leader who won’t go. Whoever heard of such a thing?

Thanks, John. Sorry about the leader thing – just put it down to an over-active imagination.
