It’s Monday morning once again and limerick time! Send in your own or here’s a prompt for you –
MOON
Here are a few limericks to make you smile this Monday. The prompt was LOOK:
The redoubtable captain named Cook
Thought Canada well worth a look
At great risk of failure
He sailed to Australia
That’s what ended up in a book.
A doctor called Frederick Lee
Tried sex at his desk with nurse Fi.
It wasn’t successful
And rather too stressful
Till she dressed in her full PPE.
***
George was a confident chap
Who’d woo nurses with banter and chat
Till one Thursday Louise
Made George’s blood freeze
When she told him she’d give him the clap.
Paul Mastaglio:
Just one look,
That’s all it took,
And I was smitten,
Now got myself a kitten,
That’s okay in my book.
There once was a very naughty book
That had a most intriguing hook
The photo on front
Was truly quite blunt
Enticing everyone to look
***
The woman had a look that could kill
If the intention of her glance was ill
But once in a while
She would wink and smile
Which they say was quite a thrill.
Watch out for the train, said the bear.
To her cub, who didn’t know it was there.
You may not see it coming,
When you are out running,
Be safe, – your hi-viz you should wear!
He sat at the glass, drank his tea
He waited, you see, to see she.
Surprised, then, was he
When she said to cease:
From her lawyer, a letter, received.
There once was a book worth a look
The page-turner had every hook
Language so easy
Made reading quite breezy
A catchy title was all that it took!
***

Jim slipped into the room
The time would come, very soon
Bare arse balanced on sill
He sat very still
And shouted, “How’s that for a full moon?”
Sorry… 🤪
Love it! 😜🤣❤
My brain… I have no idea where it’s headed 😂
Here’s my attempt:
As I lay in the grass, all content
The night winds appearing God-sent
I gaze up at the moon
and start to assume
that some bugger has stolen my tent.
🙂
😂
Thank you 😉
Brilliant! Love it. Thank you!
Thanks, Esther, glad you liked it 🙂
Brilliant, Kristian.
Thanks, Keith 🙂 I’ll make it a post 🙂
I wanted to fly to the moon
But my grandmother said, “It’s too soon.
There’s no-one to fire us
Locked down with this virus
And you don’t even have a balloon!”
Boom boom 😀
Haha, That’s great 🙂 Loved the ‘Fire Us / Virus’ rhyme.
Thanks. Virus is not the easiest word to rhyme. 🙂
No Indeed, you did well. Tire Us would work too., Hire Us… Yes not many options but variations on a theme. 🙂
Excellent, as always 😁
Thanks, Esther.
On a glorious June afternoon
I went flying beneath a balloon
With my head in the stars
I was heading for Mars
But fell hopelessly short of the Moon
or …..
If but for the limits of flight
To the stars I would take you tonight
On this afternoon
We could walk on the moon
And the Earth would be our satellite.
Rush job …. it probably should be ‘the next afternoon’
Superb Limericks both.
I still loved it!

I hope it is over soon
That monthly bit of loon
I run with the pack
With hair on my back
During every full moon
OK, could resist doign another:
Mars, they say, has two
And Jupiter, quite a few!
It’s no fun
We only have one
But I guess our moon will do
I don’t mind how many you do. I love reading them!
Great!
Thanks 🙂
I’ve been, a few times, to the moon
In the lovely summer days of June,
I went in a rocket
I stored in my pocket,
And journeyed there with a baboon!
Love that last line!
Cool, I wanted something other than balloon!
Hi
I stare at the moon, Feeling like a bit of a loon, I wonder if it’s smiling at me, I can’t tell, you see, I’ve have had too much to drink doon the toon!
Cheers Paul 😀
🤣🤣
These are great! The comments are, too!
Thank you for your comment!
There was a young lady from Rome.
Who took out a very big loan.
It was far big to pay back,
So, to keep her on track,
She bet horses over the phone.
Cheers John
You are so good at these, John!
This was fun, thank you! https://cobbledcontemplations.com/2020/05/29/moon-limerick/
