Here’s to a great week! Your new limerick challenge is as follows:
SANTA
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word NICE in it somewhere. Here are your masterpieces:
My mother gave such good advice;
Don’t cause fuss, she said, just be nice.
I tried what she said
Whilst out drinking with Fred;
He filled all my pockets with ice!
I once had a very nice cat
But she thought she was really a bat
She jumped up and down
And run round and round
But couldn’t fly because she was fat!
Sue was a very nice girl
So good she would make you hurl
Just once be mean
Or have your nickers seen
Be human, give it a whirl!
For a girl to be nice
She must pay the price
Be sweet and helpful
And never regretful
With nary a need to think twice!
There was a young lady from Nice
Who married a Welsh lad called Rhys.
She thought it was strange
When he asked her to change.
Her silk negligee for a little white fleece.
Is that ‘nice’ as in kind or pretty
Or is it ‘Nice’ as in the French city?
I need to know
Before I go
And try to compose something witty.
Linking People 2003:
Self sacrifice and martyrdom extinction,
Have subtle difference with nice distinction!
Both give pleasure and satisfaction zeal,
With pleasant and attractive appeal,
To next of kins with the fame addiction!
***
Santa’ll be coming quite soon
At night, by the light of the moon.
Now kids, don’t be surly
To bed bright and early
And don’t wake up till afternoon!

Tom was a very naughty boy
Who had a penchant to annoy
To see who’s nice
Santa checked thrice
And Tom didn’t get his toy
OK, boring
They say Santa’s a spy
And works for the FBI
Without any tact
He knows how you act
Kind of creepy, oh my!
One more?
A flaming party Bob hosted
When Christmas came, they all toasted
Down the chimney Santa came
To be met by a giant flame
And the poor elf got roasted

A dude named Santa came to town
He turned the kids frowns upside-down
He told them, “Be nice,
Or I’ll have to think twice,
About who’s chimney I’m coming round!”

The supermarket santa guy
Told the kids that he could fly
With reindeer and sleigh
They’d be up and away!
On Christmas night into the sky!

I always thought Santa was phoney,
‘Cos he looked very like Bony Tony.
So, I wrote him a letter,
And what proof could be better,
Than when he brought me My Little Pony?

I’m combining last week and this week. Nice/Santa
Her mother just said to be nice
So Santa won’t fetch you some mice
She tried to be good
And lived like she should
But ended with her hair full of lice

Postal strikes will cause great delay
On the run up to Christmas Day
But don’t fear girls and boys
You’ll still get your toys
‘Cos Santa delivers by sleigh!

Elle Fish, the head trainer for Santa
Taught his reindeer to trot and to canter.
When asked why she stayed,
Being so underpaid
Said, ‘They’re dears, with the best line in banter.’
