Here’s to a great new week! Your new limerick challenge is as follows:
JOKE
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word GYM in it somewhere. Here are your masterpieces:
There once was a man with a gym
Who dreamed all of his friends could be slim
His friends and folks came
But their willpower was lame
So he lost everything on his whim.
In space you can see Captain Jim
Exercising in the Enterprise Gym
But look at this scene
You can’t hear him scream!
No sound in a vacuum, poor him!
Last time that I entered a gym
I signed in with a fresh anonym
If I had my druthers
I’d go with my brothers
Cos the pain that I felt was quite Grimm.
In a quest to be pretty and trim
My last wife enrolled at the gym
Her training instructor
Became her seductor
Now she trains every night, just with him.
Gym Nastic found that working out,
Left him tired with a permanent pout.
His hopes of love, barely a glimmer,
Became as naught, as he became slimmer
With perfect abs and the face of a trout.
There once was a man at the gym
Who wanted to learn how to swim
And just like a fool
He jumped in the pool
The fool in the pool was slim Jim.
Bony took me to the gym.
He also took my sister, Kim.
We tried. We cried.
We damn near died.
The end result? We’re very slim!

A man from Polk told a joke
About an old pig in a poke
A girl was offended
Thus his routine then was ended
His career as a comedian up in smoke!

‘Twas a nightmare, a terrible fright
Count Dracula was taking a bite
But then I awoke
It was hubby’s sick joke
He slept downstairs the rest of the night.

When the leader got up and spoke
Some listeners thought it was a joke
But its not true
He was in a stew
Then they realised and had to mope

As an elderly, colourless bloke
I’ve become a bit of a joke;
But since I’ve found my lost youth,
Wrapped up in its own truth
I’m mindful and just a tad woke.

Bony Tony often spoke
Of goblins, fairies and funny folk.
But then I found
That the world is round,
And, to him, it was all a big joke!

There once was an egg with two yolks
“Am I dreaming? Please give me a poke.”
The bump on my head
Made me dizzy instead
The yolk was on me, no joke!
