Research my arse!

Posted on September 15, 2018 by twitmericks

There was an old man from Japan/

Who gave his own colon a scan;/

He put on some lube,/

Inserted a tube/

And shouted: ‘The film’s in the can!‘///

Fairground Pass

Posted on September 14, 2018 by twitmericks

In theme parks, enjoying a ride/
May help dislodge pebbles inside;/
By rattling your bones/
They send kidney stones/
Direct to the big water slide.///

Tall Story pt 2

Posted on September 14, 2018 by twitmericks

Two Russian intelligence pipal/

Suspected of poisoning Skripal/

With evil intent/

Insist they just went/

To look at a very tall stipal.///

There’s always a balance to be struck between reacting fast, when everyone is focused on the story, and taking time to get the best rhymes. Reading this tweet from @petexz after I’d posted my limerick on the story, I realised I’d missed a trick, so I’ve had a second bite at the novichock-laced cherry.

The world-famous Salisbury spire,/

But had to turn round -/
In England the snow can be dire!///

Beat the Meatles*

Posted on September 13, 2018 by twitmericks

The Beatles were birds of a feather,/

And long before Linda or Heather,/

With help from their friends,/

McCartney contends/

That he and John did Come Together.////

*Headline shamelessly nicked from the New York Post, of all places.

Court Challenge

Posted on September 11, 2018 by twitmericks

Ms Williams feels umpires are keener/

To punish a girl’s misdemeanour,/

While stars who are boys/

Can kick up a noise,/

A woman must act much Serena.///

Trevor no-mates

Posted on September 10, 2018 by twitmericks

A mallard who’s down on his luck/

Flew off to Niue and got stuck,/

Alone in his puddle/

With no one to cuddle/

Or act out the phrase “fuck a duck!”///

He took a few puffs of that shit,/

But Elon the joker/

To knowing jack shit/

About it, which went down quite badly.///
