No laughing matter

A clown said ‘it really does irk us,/

As disciplined, highly-skilled workers,/

When folks say “You clown!”/

To put MPs down’ -/

I’d like to see them run a circus!’///

RIP Limerick Larry

Posted on December 28, 2018 by twitmericks

There was an old man, 99,/

Whose verses were ever so fine,/

Enriching the Times/

With limerick rhymes/

Till sadly he reached the last line.///

Future imperfect

Posted on December 28, 2018 by twitmericks

There was a Dickensian miser/

Who saw from a spirit adviser/

The rest of his days,/

So altered his ways,/

Becoming a philanthropiser.///

I’m just posting up some limericks from the last few days, when I was away. This retelling of A Christmas Carol was my Christmas Day greeting to you all.

Present imperfect

Posted on December 28, 2018 by twitmericks

 

A boy called police in, distraught/

At what Father Christmas had brought,/

For Santa had missed/

The things on his list -/

This criminal had to be caught!///

Sell Trump!

Posted on December 24, 2018 by twitmericks

As stock exchange prices went red/

Economists everywhere said/

The cause of the slump/

Was fears about Trump,/

Who tried shifting blame to the Fed.///

Isis? What Isis?

Posted on December 23, 2018 by twitmericks

James Mattis and now Brett McGurk/

Resigned when the number one Turk/

Outwitted their chief,/

Whose grasp of his brief/

Was that of an absolute jerk.///

Tantrump

Said Donny “I’m mad with you all./

I just wanna build a big wall,/

But since you won’t pay/

I’m not gonna play,/

I’m just gonna take home my ball”.///

Droning on

Posted on December 21, 2018 by twitmericks

A pilotless craft being flown/

Within a prohibited zone/

Disrupted December/

In what we’ll remember/

As Air wars – Attack of the Drone.///

Trump tribute

Posted on December 19, 2018 by twitmericks

A blind creature scientists found/
That buries its head in the ground/
Was named after Trump,/
A visionless lump/
Ignoring the signs all around.///

Without foundation

Posted on December 18, 2018 by twitmericks

A man of the utmost vulgarity/
Decided to close down the charity/
He used, it is plain,/
To fund his campaign -/
A serious irregularity.///
