Police in East Anglia seek/

A man with a steampunkish streak/

Who’s wont to appear/

In plague doctor gear/

And mask in the shape of a beak.///

An anchor in Spain, while on air,
Broke news of his latest affair,
For there in the shot
A girl who was not
His partner was visible, bare.

In search of new things to be doing/

Instead of just sitting and stewing,/

The people of Belper/

Have found a great helper/

Is joining in communal mooing.

The UK health minister toasts/

Success as he eagerly boasts/

His target’s been met/

On testing, and yet/

He got there by moving the posts.///

The firm that makes Durex is flagging
That sales of its product are sagging
As lockdown affects
Occurrence of sex,
Especially casual shagging.

The top Swedish scientist dude
So captured the national mood
In tackling the virus
That some are desirous
Of having his likeness tattooed.

The U.S. pandemic’s killed more
Than died in the Vietnam war,
With all under threat
As bone spurs won’t get
You safety, as happened before.

The Belgians in lockdown don’t eat/

French fries that you buy on the street,/

So millions of taters/

Will end up in craters/

Unless they can make their own frites.///

A chap who’s an odd shade of peach
Says treatments may be within reach,
And if ultraviolet
Falls short when you trial it,
Advises injections of bleach.*

*This limerick is satirical and should not be read as endorsing such insanity.

A woman was shot in the chest,/

But saved by her implanted breast:/

The bullet’s deflection/

Affording protection/

By silicone bulletproof vest.
