I hope you all had a great weekend. Here’s a new limerick challenge for you. Your word is:
CRUSH
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word KISS in it somewhere. Here are your masterpieces:
Kiss me, she said with a pout
Her lips almost turned inside-out.
I slipped and I fell,
Let out a great yell;
Life’s just not the same with the gout!
There was a girl named Missy-Sue
Who had a heart never quite true
She kissed each boy
To bring them them joy
Until she left them for someone new.
–
A kiss was thought the greatest seal
To the leader and his deal
For if you’d break it
They wouldn’t fake it
And his wrath you’d surely feel.
Grandmother gave baby a kiss
Who suddenly started to hiss!
She needs a clean diaper
Said granny, I’ll wipe her
She’ll soon be as clean as her sis!
A young gal, by the name of Old Miss,
Thought, ‘Why did my mum name me this?’
The opposite sex
Won’t send me a text;
I’ll be dead whilst I wait for a kiss.
Bony Tony often played snooker
Even with a painful verruca.
He could kiss off the pink
Sink black with a dink,
Besides being a jolly good looker.
–
“I love your caresses; that’s clear.
But, where will you kiss me, my dear?”
She held on to me tight
As she squealed with delight,
When I told her, and showed her, “Right here!”
At the school for trainee actresses
Sarah is taught to dispense kisses
She thinks, ‘it’s a cinch,’
But in her first clinch,
She aims at his lips and then misses.
‘You don’t need the wisdom of Homer,’
said Mark, a wise lad from Cromer,
‘To know that a kiss will
make her feel blissful,
as well as bring her out of a coma.’
There seemed to be something amiss
For I’d yet to receive my nightly kiss
His mood hard been dark
Ever since we left the park
What’s happened to the happy days of bliss?
Chaz is a guy who’s really rock hard;
He is big, beefy; and a tad scarred,
A kiss on the lips
Is better than chips –
And … costs less than a Valentine’s card.
Linking People 2003:
Had a kiss with death, no steal,
Audaciously kissing while on wheel!
Oxytocin, love hormone, releases while kissing,
From master gland, the pituitary, not missing,
Arousing with neurohumoral toning, intact seal!
I once had a terrible crush
On a girl with the prettiest blush
I approached with a pout
She said, “Oi! Leave it out!
There is no need to bloodywell rush!”
Did I mention that she’s from Australia,
And she looked just like Iggy Azalea?
But she had a mishap
When she tried to do rap
So stuck to weekend bacchanalia?
She tried on another persona
Like that Capulet girl from Verona.
She took a few chances
With intimate dances
But succumbed to a virus corona.

On my art teacher, I had a slight Crush
He asked to see what I’d drawn in a rush.
So, I showed him my sketches
But men are such wretches!
What he said just made me quite blush!
Great minds think alike, I can see the similarities with Keith’s 🙂

Young Jane had a habit of blushing
When faced with one on whom she was crushing
Her cheeks would go red
She’d wish herself dead
So out of the door she’d go, rushing!
So sorry, that is awful!

There once was a girl with a crush
On a guy that could make her blush
He kissed her one day
And she started to sway
So he caught her ‘neath the arms in a rush!

“Tease me. Hold me. Crush me. Squeeze me.”
Bony Tony would often tease me.
He’d hold me close
As I perched on his toes,
And he would never fail to please me.

OK, this is part two of the first one from last week 😉
Roy had a crush on Missy Sue
Though she treated him just like poo
She’d kiss each boy
Except for Roy
Leaving the lad oh so blue

I can see that we’re both in sync
With old, crushed grape our favorite drink
And sure, it’s fine
That you call it wine
I just want to make you think…

It all began in an unholy rush
That ended in a deadly crush,
As one by one, their gasps
Stopped as they breathed their last.
Their cries gave way to a dreadful hush.
Bit serious. Saw film of another football stadium disaster from the Africa Cup of Nations yesterday which brought back Hillsborough et al and then your prompt…

LIGAMENTS between vertebrae crush,
When Anaestheist insert needle deep, blush!
Instead of just under skin for local anaesthetic,
Which often leads to backache, apologetic;
After Spinal Block for say, Caesarean rush!
कशेरुक के बीच स्नायुबंधन पर दबाव,
जब एनेस्थीस्ट गहरी सुई बिना भाव,
दर्द के लिए सिर्फ त्वचा के नीचे के बजाय,
अक्सर पीठ दर्द मरीज़ों को हो जाय;
स्पाइनल ब्लॉक सिजेरियन बाद प्रभाव।
