Here’s your Monday smile – it’s limerick time. Send in your own or here’s a prompt for you –
TRUST
Here are a few limericks to make you smile this Monday. The prompt last week was SCARY.
Scary poems upset me in bed.
Can’t sleep fearing I’ll wake up dead
And if I spend time
Reading blood-curdling rhyme
You know it’ll fill me with dread.
It’s scary that an orange man
Could be running the world again
He has no compassion
But lies with a passion
Tomorrow we will see his plan.
To me, Halloween was not hairy
No candy, no goblins, no fairy,
I did try all night
Gave myself no such fright
Viewing movies supposedly scary!
So the world watches on feeling wary
Four more years is a prospect most scary
Wake up out of your bubble
This man’s nothing but trouble
His unhinged blatant lies never vary.
Paul Mastaglio:
There once was a lass called Mary
Who was a little bit scary
She’d hide behind a wall
And give you a call
Making your skin stand up all hairy.
She worked all-day in the dairy
And walked gracefully like a fairy
After a few pegs
I was counting legs
When she whirled back, her face was all hairy!
Already knew this man’s contrary
Going on a date may be scary
But being grounded helps
Better than taking scalps
Or hoping he’ll ask me to marry.
Being part troll, Jane was excessively hairy
Which sad to relate made her naturally scary.
She tried depilation
But to her consternation
She still looked more furball than fairy.
Sarian Lady:
I once had a friend called Mary
Who liked to dress up as a fairy
She loved to feed
on honey and mead
And became quite hairy and scary.
Sharon Tingle:
El Día De Los Muertos
Celebrated by Los Mexicanos
With altars of scary sugar skulls and bread
Homage is paid to those now dead
Scary fun fiestas para nosotros.

I trust myself to be right
When getting into a fight
Not to be too aggressive
In fact I’m quite passive
and often run off in fright…
Light and fun 😊

Americans say ‘In God We Trust’
Though lately that’s seemed shrouded in dust.
But just by Biden their time
They’ve shown they still give a dime
And Donnie’s flush has been finally bust.
Very topical!
“Trust me” said old Donald Trump
But election results gave him the hump
“This is all cheating!”
We heard him bleating
As he landed outside with a bump!
(Written in my lunch hour, off the hoof!)
Ha, ha! Fabulous 😊
😁
Allie was and actress shinning bright
Playing local clubs every night
After a flop she almost quit
But was pulled back to become a hit
And was thus thrust into the light
(Darn, I was trying to get “thrust into the limnelight”, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t do it!)
“I have a great thrust” Mark did brag
“It gets a smile from maid and hag”
He was acting flirty
Figured he was talking dirty
But discovered fencing was his bag
Sorry, I misread today’s word… I discovered my mistake when I went back and read the others. Hmm, I’ll have to think of something new now…
There once was a guy who would bellow
The ground shook when he said “Hello!”
He might be loud
And awfully proud
But he is a trust worthy fellow
Terri would act absurd
But you could always trust her word
She would rather die
Than tell a lie
She’s the most honest woman you ever heard
And these are just as fabulous 😁
Thanks! I like the originals better, but…
But they’re great!! I’ll have to feature ‘thrust’ another time!
Thanks! It would be interesting to see what people made of it if you did use “thrust”.
It’ll be OK
I hear you say
My shoulder’s healing
Getting back that old feeling
Trust me, your book is on its way!
Cheers Paul 😁
Wonderful!!! 😊
Trust isn’t given, it’s earned
Regardless of what you have learned
Uless you enthuse
Some credence you’ll lose
Take care, it’s not nice to be spurned.
I like that one very much.
Thanks, Esther.
*Unless*
In any relationship, there must
Be honesty, respect and trust
His cheating heart
Drove us apart
Now all my dreams have turned to dust
Super. Thanks, Val.

I trust that you trust me
To handle your bargaining plea
But the evidence found
Seemed not to clarify but to compound
Alas, the judge did not agree.
Very clever!
Thank you Esther! From you that is a great compliment.
