Laughing Along With A Limerick

Here’s to a great week! Your new limerick challenge is as follows:

SCONE

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

Keith Edgar Channing:

No words can describe the foul smell

Of a hermit crab, dead in its shell.

If you find one of those

Just cover your nose

And ask just what is this fresh hell.

Annette Rochelle Aben:

They rang the bell

When from grace she fell

No longer on top

Hitting the ground with a plop

Exclaiming, “What fresh hell?”

Ritu:

Jill looked into the well

Precisely where he fell

She called out “Oh, Jack!”

But there was no voice back

“Our mum’s going to give me hell!”

Christine Mallband-Brown:

I’ve had a hell of a cold

It’s made me feel really quite old

Coughing and sneezing

Hacking and wheezing

A remedy, I need to be sold!

Kim Smyth:

I think that Hell will be cold

So uncomfortable when you’re old

Craving warm weather

Get rid of this sweater

Baring skin isn’t just for the bold!

Trent’s World:

Can you look at my bill, please?

It is full of unexplained fees

That’s quite a lot

For who knows what

Before I pay, Hell will freeze.

–

I see you didn’t like it a bit

Me and my unhinged wit

You say it’s crude

And sometimes rude

But I shan’t go to Hell for it.

TanGental:

Commuting is the worst kind of hell

Which can leave you distinctly unwell

You’ll soon be believing

That stopping breathing

Is better than some second-hand smell.

Val Fish:

Hell hath no fury, its said

As that woman scorned, I saw red

I kicked him out the door

And as for his whore

I kicked her right out of my bed!

Ruth Scribbles:

I only tried to wish her well

She thought I said, “You go to hell.”

The look I got

Hurt a lot

‘Cause I tripped and fell in a well.

Linking People 2003:

Oh, hell, will end of burka practice end sobriety?

Yes, because burka allays beauty anxiety,

Among women; subdues voyeuristic pleasure,

For men, preventing violence without measure,

Against women around the globe, notoriety!
