MOP

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

Keith Channing:

A singer called something like Donny;

Was cute, and his voice was quite bonny.

He wasn’t so flash

But made loads of cash.

I’m wrong! His real name was Johnny.

Kim Smyth:

They threw me a party at age fifty

Now the old girl’s nearing sixty

No party this year

Cause ‘Rona is here

I’ll just have to do something thrifty.

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

Win cash with our lottery

Or second prize pottery

The leaflet came

With a bingo game

No chance its just flummery!

Paul Mastaglio:

Cash, it rings a bell

I believe it did very well

It went round and round

Did that dear old pound

Until Covid sounded its death knell.

Trent’s World:

There once was a mobster named Fred

“Always pay in cash,” he said

But he used a card

Alerting Scotland Yard

And the villain wound up dead.

The Hidden Edge:

Frank, the financial adviser,

Was often seen as a miser,

He was never that flash,

With his good client’s cash,

And they were always the wiser!

Ritu:

I want to grow my stash

But I just ain’t got the cash

My book pile’s so tall

Yet I still want em all

Too many books? Balderdash!

Lance Greenfield:

Mum always told me that “Cash is Queen”

But that too much money is seen as obscene.

My Gran had other ideas of what makes wealth.

“Be happy and look after your health.”

A great lesson to learn while still a mere teen.

Sharon Tingle:

Cowboy Frank fingered his curled moustache

As he rode into the town of Nash.

His one aim: to collect a saddle-full bounty

For capturing gunslinger one-eyed Monty.

Dang! He grinned, “Dert’ll be a load a cash.”

Linking People 2003:

CASH crops like coffee, tea and cotton,

Bring cash from market unforgotten!

Since cash crops are not consumed at home,

Cash inflow is handsome,

Sure to be gotten!
