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 –

WRONG

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

Keith Channing:

Brain is what makes people smart;

Read the writings of René Descartes.

Although, just like you

I won’t think it’s true.

Not until it is on a flip-chart.

Kim Smyth:

Having a really smart brain

Using it to come in out of the rain

Is so very smart

Yet most people don’t start

Until wet, now that’s really insane!

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

My brain hurts so much more now

I’ve just tried calculus you know

It didn’t make sense

And made me so tense

My maths skills have taken a blow!

Paul Mastaglio:

Don’t complain

If you don’t use your brain

Take time to think

Then with a nod and a wink

You’ll be back in the game.

Trent’s World:

Today I can’t brain nor rhyme

For I have very little time

My mind is fog

And stuck in a bog

My poetry attempts are a crime.

–

A zombie has eaten my brain

And has left me quite insane

For his sup

He slurped it up

And my skull he did drain.

The Hidden Edge:

My darling daughter is Laura Jane,

Just like her Dad she is quite insane,

She loves to be tidy,

Like many girl Friday,

But oftentimes – it does in my brain!

Ritu:

If he ever used his brain

Jack would be right as rain

Instead, he won’t think

Just has another drink

And let’s people think he’s insane!

Lance Greenfield:

For my Dad, Tony Greenfield.

How brainy was old Bony Tony?

He’d often speak utter baloney.

His greatest advice?

“If ten words will suffice,

Use more and you’ll often be lonely.”

Valerie Fish:

Her brain was the size of a pea

Her cup size, a huge Double ‘D’

She wasn’t that dumb,

Success was to come

Flaunting her assets on page three.

Geoff Le Pard:

A well-hung young fella from Spain,

Said, ‘I’ve really no wish to complain,

That the girls from Lanzarote

See me as male totty,

Rather than for the size of my brain.’

Susan St. Pierre:

The world’s tiniest girl named Lorraine,

Was a genius in spite a wee brain.

Her brilliance was lost!

In the Spring’s melting frost.

She was tragically swept down a drain.

Linking People 2003:

Education is to train the brain to think,

Vocalise and use the brain or lose it without a blink!

Brain controls the neuroendocrine system.

Endocrinal pituitary and pineal glands in rhythm,

With brain and spinal cord prevent brain shrink!
