Falling for Limericks

The writing spark for this week was the word – fall

Falling for Limericks

A blind date I once had at this place

Thought of me from some alien race

But try as I might

Prove that she wasn’t right

She gave up when I fell on my face

——————

I’m surprised that I fell for that trick

Looking down as his finger did flick

Poked me right in the nose

Even mussed up my clothes

The thought of it just makes me sick

——————

Ronald told me this wouldn’t take long

He promised that he’d come along

No doubt, I’ll take the fall

And get blamed for it all

What could possibly ever go wrong?

——————

Ikea instructions are clear

They are easy, you’ve nothing to fear

When complete just sit down

But you might have to frown

When it breaks and you fall on your rear

——————

Stand up straight and fall into one line

Do not talk; you must wait for the sign

Such a rowdy young bunch

Now go home for some lunch

While I stay here at school and drink wine

——————

When you fall, just get up, try again

All you need is a paper and pen

Find the words that you seek

Use them all next off-week

When you know we’ll be seeing you then

About hdh

I have been telling stories for over 40 years and writing forever. I am a retired teacher and storyteller. I hope to expand upon my repertoire and use this blog as a place to do writing. The main purpose is to give me and others that choose to comment, a space in which to play with issues that deal with storytelling, storytelling ideas, storytelling in education, reactions to events, and just plain fun stories. I explore some of my own writing throughout, from character analysis, to fictional, to poetry, and personal stories. I go wherever my muse sends me. Enjoy!
