Laughing Along With A Limerick

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:

Kim Smyth:

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.

Christine Mallaband-Brown:

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!

Keith Edgar Channing:

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.

Richmond Road:

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.

TanGental:

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.

Ruth Scribbles:

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.

Lance Greenfield:

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!

  1. Kim Smyth says:

    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!

  2. ‘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.

  3. 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.

  5. 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!

  7. 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!
