Family Limericks
I thought I would try something a little different for my poetry this week and go with some limericks. I don’t believe that I have ever written any for Prose for Thought before and the last time I wrote one was probably when I was a kid. I decided to choose the 3 most obvious subjects – me, Ross and Grace.
Table of Contents
Grace
There was a young lady named Grace,
She had make-up all over her face
She tried hard to wash it
But just couldn’t stop it
From getting all over the place!
Vicky
There once was a woman named Vicky
Fed up with people taking the mickey
She tried hard to ignore
But it became such a bore
So she decided she was being too pickey!
Ross
There once was a man named Ross
He took pleasure in being the boss
But one day he changed
And became so deranged
So no longer did he give a toss!

*Laugh our loud* to all of these Vicky… so much fun! The only word that ever rhymes with Carol is barrel!! Thanks for hosting #prose4t 🙂
Thanks Carol! I really did enjoy writing these. I am certain there is more than barrel, so here is a limerick for you!
There once was a lady named Carol
Who tired of her lack of apparel
She went shopping in town
But came back with a frown
Because all she could find was a barrel!
Perfect Vicky, thank you so much! You’ve got me laughing out loud again 😉
A pleasure! I think this was Ross’ favourite 😉
These are brilliant! so much fun and give a real insight! I love the line ‘so no longer did he give a toss’! Really tickled me x #Prose4T
Thanks Michelle – I am glad you liked that line, I found it very amusing to write! x
Now that had me smiling all the way through 😀
Thank you Vai 🙂 x
What fun pieces, Victoria! I love limericks as well, and this is such a great way to write about your family. Thanks for hosting prose4t. Have fun in Ireland!
Thank you Maria 🙂 x
Very funny – though when I read the title I wondered if you were giving Ross and Grace the chance to write their own limericks! MAybe next time
Hahaha! Maybe I should give them a chance. Thanks Antonia 🙂 x
Ha, ha, these are brilliant! Very funny and I hope your family all had a good giggle?! They should all have a go at writing one about you too! xx
Thank you Sarah – if I am honest, I am not sure they have seen them yet 😉
