Limericks

pamperedlinny

My family sometimes starts sharing limericks via group text and I thought I'd share the game with you all! Write a limerick about anything at all.

Limerick Rules:
They are five lines long.
Lines 1, 2, and 5 rhyme with one another.
Lines 3 and 4 rhyme with each other.
They have a distinctive rhythm.
And usually, they're funny!

Examples:
My mom worked hard every day
And put up with four kids who wanted to play
She would mutter "I love my children"
And we knew she loved us a billion
And that's why we'd live to see another day

Every day I dream of food
I wish I could walk away for good
If I did I would starve
Instead this turkey I will carve
At least eating will improve my mood

Love this @pamperedlinny

Today is way too hot
Thankfully my sunscreen I had not forgot
But water I wish I had more
For my stomach hurt to the core
But for all this a workout it indeed brought

@Generic_Excuse that one is fabulous!

The workday was not full of glamour
And my family is making a clamor
Why again do I need to feed them
A cook and maid would be a gem
You'll find me by the corner in a stammer

So very tired
With my coffee tomorrow I'll be wired
It's a good thing for a long day
I'm sure it'll all be okay
However at this moment only my bed is desired

This day was much too long...
Not enough time is just so wrong.
I need a jolt to start anew...
And sometimes don't know what to do.
I will remember that God gives me strength...
And be Thankful for days with such wisdom at length.
Tomorrow will be a brand new day...
And always remember that it will all be okay. 💖

Good morning fitness peeps

There once was a Hoosier named Joe
Who got tired of not seeing his toes.
So he joined MFP
To lose 83
And now has only 62 lbs to go! 😄

My daughter gave me one yesterday:

On the way home
We saw a gnome
He wore a wizard hat
And he held a bat
He really needed a comb

I've packed way too many boxes
I'd rather be petting some foxes
we decided to sell
I hope it goes well
Or a house I will live in of boxes

Roses are red
Violets are purple
Sugar is sweet
And so’s maple syruple

Like that? I never was good at Shakespeare and Keats and Shelley and stuff.

The Rockies are the mountains I know
Their omnipotent faces covered with snow
And from my home
Grand Tetons are shown
I wonder and wander to witness their glow

A symphony of cicadas on a summer afternoon
Bees humming, wildflowers singing a tune
When what do I hear
Squirrels chattering in my ear
Grizzly bears will be joining me soon

The Canadian Goose is a bird who's unhappy alone
They stick like moss on a river's stone
The gander and his wife
Get married for life
Divorces among them are unknown

Between heaven and earth lies a rift
You'll know when you're starting to drift
The clouds open up
You refill your cup
Truth bends down to impart hearts lift
