Here’s to a great week! Your new limerick challenge is as follows:
DRAIN
Your challenge last week was to write a limerick using the word MUG in it somewhere. Here are your masterpieces:
I really feel like a mug!
I gave my friend a hug…
He started to sneeze
Cough and wheeze
I caught a really bad bug!
I once met a pug with a mug
So ugly I gave him a hug
To make him feel good
I gave him a hood
Now he’s cute as a bug in a rug!
Drink my tea from a lovely big mug
Don’t sip delicate mouthfuls but glug
With a satisfied sigh
Enjoy mood-boosting high
Love my internal, tea-flavoured hug.
An etiquette teacher, quite smug,
Said, ‘One doesn’t drink tea from a mug.
It is clear one oughter
Drink from cup and saucer,
With the milk poured from a jug.’
–
The radio told me ‘Today’s muggy,’
Which made me come over all fuggy.
But before very long
I knew they were wrong
As today’s not muggy, but tuggy.
(And tomorrow’s wuggy then thuggy, and fruggy…)
Lord Snooty was terribly smug.
He looked down on the people, whom he regarded as mugs.
But he got his come-uppance,
Which cost us just tuppence.
Prunes made him run more than any drug!
***
If you want to be one of good cheer
You must drain a mug of great beer
If had with fine food
It’ll improve your mood
Or at least so I hear
I missed last week, so I combined them 😉

Down the plughole baby went!
Is that what the old saying meant?
I don’t think it’s true
For if it did do
The drain is too small and very bent!

Power in an RV can drain
Which is a bummer in the rain
Charging your battery
Will save your sanity
And you’ll be on the road again!

Missed mug, so combined with drain.

I will drain my mug she said with disdain
You can’t have any, you have no brain
I’ll drink it all up
You can’t have my cup
I’ll tell everyone that you are to blame

In a gesture that’s hard to explain
Took my love for a walk in the rain
She slipped in the mud
With a terrible thud
Now my romance has gone down the drain

I looked down and I gave her a shrug
Picked her up and I gave her a hug
“I despise you, you know
Now I’m wet, head to toe,”
she said. Now I feel like a mug.

Discard it and toss down the drain.
Repeat; that means do it again.
Accept that it’s fateful;
In time you’ll be grateful.
Now wash it, and please don’t complain.

I heard my plumber explain
To my wife, what was up with our drain:
‘You’ve a problem with feces
Which will only increase if
You let him go again and again (and again)

I’m feeling a little scatalogical this week
Some people will always complain
If having felt the need to strain
You’re in a bit of a rush
To drain with a flush
While people are still boarding the train

I hired a plumber called Paul.
He fitted my pipes far too small.
So, when it did rain,
It flooded my drain
And flowed through my kitchen and hall.
