Laughing Along With A Limerick

I hope you’re all having a wonderful Christmas. Here’s to a great week! Your new limerick challenge is as follows:

SPROUT

Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word STAR in it somewhere. Here are your masterpieces:

Keith Edgar Channing:

Whilst talking to my chiropractor

I asked “Why can’t I be an actor?”

With fans near and far

I’d soon be a star.

Failing that, I can still drive a tractor.

Trent’s World:

Paul played a pretty mean guitar

And wanted to be a rock-n-roll star

He practiced all day

In the end it should pay

But it’s been a struggle so far.

–

A star graced the top of the page

Making me feel quite the sage

But it was work, not school

So I was a fool

My boss told me to act my age.

–

I put a star atop the tree

Glowing for all to see

it was the first tree I found

In the middle of town

Now the police are looking for me.

Christine Mallband-Brown:

A Christmas star on high

Far up in a deep blue sky

It’s light shines below

With a wonderful glow

then suddenly, a baby’s first cry.

Kim Smyth:

Once I dreamed of being a star

And then I flung myself afar

I got sidetracked

Then love attacked

Now I’m just who I are!

Ruth Scribbles:

She wanted to be a big star

She wouldn’t have to go very far

She got mom’s permission

And entered the audition

Dressed in lights she stood on the bar.

Lance Greenfield:

Vince spattered dark canvas with white.

And, suddenly, he saw the light.

We know the result,

‘Tis art we exult.

Van Gogh’s Starry Starry Night.

Linking People 2003:

Star twinkles, not the planet, right?

Twinkling is due to refraction of light,

Through different density layers of air!

Each day is starred by powerful Sun, fair?

Sky is lit with silver moon and stars at night!
