Laughing Along With A Limerick

Here’s your Monday smile – it’s limerick time. Send in your own or here’s a prompt for you –

HAUNT

Here are a few limericks to make you smile this Monday. The prompt last week was TEACH.

Keith Channing:

Teach and explain, the man said

Each time that I spoke to the Head.

And when I tried, he

Could quite clearly see

How deep was my visceral dread!

Kim Smyth:

There once was a man who could teach

His children seemed so out of reach

They told him some lies

And now they despise

There’s even a movement to impeach.

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

If you teach you must learn

Fake knowledge you must spurn

How much time it takes to get

Good at teaching your subject

And marking must be your concern.

Ritu:

I’d rather be on a beach

Instead, I’ve to remote teach

Lessons recorded

All work rewarded

Now, somebody, pass me a peach!

Paul Mastaglio:

Down on the beach

Someone is trying to teach

Demonstrating in the surf

For all its worth

That lots of fun is well within reach.

Linking People 2003:

Skill is better than benefits, so teach;

It provides self respect to each!

Once a teacher always a student;

Learning increases the intelligence quotient!

Google search engine is a big library, preach!

Jael Stevens:

Generations of history’s long gnarled fingers reach

Have handed down lessons intending to teach

Though noble advances credit mankind

Sharper minds’ progress seems elusive to find

Same problems beg answers, broken hearts yet beseech.

---

‘Dog ate my homework’ is no excuse

What say you now, seeing madness turned loose

Let us give legs to what we teach, preach, speak

Strength to lofty ideals, hearts be not meek

Make end of cultural ‘norms’ which ignore abuse.

Sarian Lady:

If I was trained to teach,

I’d take all of the kids on the beach.

We’d laugh and we’d play,

Every minute of the day,

To be happy, is what I’d preach.
