Here’s to a great new week! Your new limerick challenge is as follows:
FELL
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word BLIND in it somewhere. Here are your masterpieces:
Before this new verselet I write,
Looking fearful that I may take flight.
I must needs go in blind
Never sure that I’ll find
Dame Muse with her sweet guiding light.
There was a man named Matt
Who seemed as blind as a bat
His eyes were good
It’s understood
It was how he wore his hat.
–
There was a girl named Dee
Who totally blind-sided me
In she flew
Out of the blue
And hit before I could see.
There once was a girl oh so blind
She sought love, yet couldn’t find
In clubs nor in pubs
But she kept concert stubs
The memories at least were so kind.
I’m in a really big bind
I want to search and find
The silver and gold
At rainbows end, told
But I can’t cos I’m blind!
‘Buying fruit,’ young Thomas opined,
‘Is a risky business if you’re partially blind;
The staff all think I’m utterly hopeless
And one old woman told me to grope less,
Cos I can’t tell ripe melons from a pert behind.’
In Hollywood, greed is good, love is blind
On streets of gold, so I’m told, all are kind
As time goes by,
you will see it’s a lie
Or you’ll be fooled… if you’re that way inclined.

Bob fell while taking a hike
Then got run over by a mountain bike
You’d think he’d know
Never to go
To places his ex said he’d like

Timmy fell down a deep well
Lassie ran home to tell
Seeing the dog lope
They grabbed some rope
For they knew their son very well

For his magical charms I fell
He had me under his spell
Till I got wise
To all his lies
And told him to go to hell.

A woman fell into a well
After experiencing a bad dizzy spell
She survived the long fall
Then was rescued by all
And now has a story to tell!

Before to penury I fell
My life had been going quite well
Until my better half
At my efforts did laugh
And now she is a pauper as well!

At his first appraisal, long after he fell
Lucifer stood before the Hounds of Hell:
‘How am I doing, throw me a bone,
A bit more fire, a smidge of brimstone?’
And Cerberus slathered: ‘It’s to early to tell…’

Bony Tony would often tell
The epic story of Eskimo Nell.
He loved the rhyme,
Until came his time.
No more reciting. Alas, he fell.
