My friend JennyMcB at J’s Thoughts and Musings is having a Limerick Contest! Click on the banner to take you to her site to read all about it. First prize is a necklace with matching earrings! I love limericks…but I don’t know if I can write one. At least, I’m not sure I can write a “clean” one.
Let me see…hmmm.
A bard named Shelly Kneupper Tucker
Oh, my goodness! Where was I going with that? That will never do! Jen said the limerick couldn’t be bawdy. And her son’s are going to read this! YIKES!
OK. HMMM…
There once was a woman named Shelly
Who fried bacon fat for her belly.
She’ll tell you the tales
Of her life’s travails
And how now, her belly is jelly.
Nah, she probably doesn’t want that one. In fact, I don’t want that one. I don’t need any reminders.
Lessee…I can’t end a line with “weaver,” because that rhymes with “beaver” and if I put that word on my blog, I know what will happen to the Google ads.
OK, OK, I know I can do this:
A storyteller, weaver, and wife
Who is living This Eclectic Life
She’ll tell you a story,
It won’t be too gory,
In fact with humor her blog is rife.
Oh shoot, maybe this one:
She wanted to win her a bangle,
So that from her neck it would dangle.
But, her rhyming stinks
So everyone thinks.
Her, with the bangle, they will strangle!
Or this:
In wanting to have a new necklace,
With her poetry she was reckless.
Though her words she did tweak,
Her writing was weak.
Her limerick was very feckless.
“UNCLE!” I give up.
YOU go enter it!

Valiant attempts. I had to read the first one that had a strikethrough again after you said that her sons were going to read it. Then I got what you were doing.
I like your third attempt best.
Anyways, I’ve tried a few random poems that you can see at my poetry tag pages. Suffice to say I’m not great at it. But it is fun!
I like your poetry. Mine stinks big time…but I was being silly. If I tried harder, I could do it. Maybe.~skt
Like ‘em! I need to get brainstorming on mine. It’s hard to get the boys quiet enough for me to hear the rhyming!
So, like how are you going to get the boys to be quiet? Tie them up and gag them? NOOO! You would never do that.~skt
LOL, that was funny. I don’t know much about limericks but yours surely made me laugh.
You’re too easy, Sophiagurl. Go read Jessica The Rock Chick’s entry if you really want to laugh.~skt
I like the storyteller, weaver and wife!
Yea, I was worried about you and Sparky Duck…really could have some fun with those. Could you imagine the google ads then?
Thanks for submitting!
I’ll have to go see what Sparky Duck wrote. That COULD be a mess!~skt
I love the “She wanted to win a bangle” one! Cracked me up!
Too bad you couldn’t go with your first attempt
Hey, google juice is google juice, no???? LOL
I played, too!!! …”Jenny, I’ve Got Your Number”
Jessica
YOURS, hands down, wins so far! Dang, I’m having some sibling jealousy here. You are too funny! Are those teenage girls helping you or something? Nah. You just are good~skt
I would have loved to see you attempt the Bard one..lol!
Those are some good limericks my favorite is about the bangle…too funny! I loved reading your limericks.
YOURS are much better. You are a talented chick.~skt
Shelly, valiant attempts. . shame you couldn’t go with the first one. . loved the wife and weaver (almost mistyped that word). . . and the bangle one, but no one would strangle you — maybe a tradesman seeing the read head temper, but no one else.
Oh, Marcia….my husband might strangle me. Now that Jenny started that, I’m speaking in limerick. BAD limerick! Yes, the first one could have been interesting….~skt
My favorite is the one about being a storyteller, weaver, and wife. I got a laugh out of the bacon one and the bangle one!
Oh, Crimson Wife, they were all awful. But, I couldn’t resist trying
~skt
These were very good. I will have to check out the contest.
Naw, Rose…these stink! But, check out the contest
~skt
Hah! Strangle with a bangle.
Awesome.
Any of those would be a decent entry.
You don’t know Suzanne…they might really strangle me with a bangle if I don’t quit making limericks around here!
~skt
