Here are a few limericks to make you smile this Monday. The prompt was KNIT from a couple of weeks ago.

Keith Channing:

My writing will oft make me smile

Though editing’s just not my style.

If I could just knit

Or crochet a bit

I’d at least turn out something worthwhile.

Richmond Road:

I’ve been putting on weight. Just a bit.

The back of my pants has just split

You may think that’s it’s funny

But I ain’t got no money

And can’t sew. And nor can I knit.

–

I spend all my time here just sitting

All day long I just sat here, just knitting

To enhance my enjoyment

I embraced unemployment

Even that I just ended up quitting.

Christine Mallaband-brown:

To make a beret, that will suit you

I’ll knit a few rows of some bright blue

A line of sunny yellow

And reds, really mellow

Followed on by a gold and purple hue!

Paul Mastaglio:

A word to the wise

If you can’t get a jumper your size

I’ll ask my nan

Of whom I’m her greatest fan

And she’ll knit you one as a surprise.

Kim Smyth:

There once was a girl that could knit

But missing a stitch, threw a fit

Her mother yelled out,

“Don’t be such a lout”

So instead she stomped off in a snit!

Lyncrain:

That human threw a horrendous fit

It takes patience to learn how to knit

Our skill evolves with time

Unlike a spinning dime

Our project increases with each sit.

Chelsea Owens:

Knitting? I can’t, I’m a-frayed.

If only my needles obeyed!

When I stitched a line,

They promptly declined;

They and Crochet Hook just played.

Zack and Zelda:

I ruminate till brows are knit

Thoughts entangle, won’t settle, quit

Seems mind has ‘purled two’, lost a stitch

If only brain had on-off switch

Maybe just need to nap for a bit.
