The LAST limerick - for real this time....
A ring is a marvelous thing
To a hand it does elegance bring
Add a stone of a hue
That matches your mood
And it’s sure to make your heart sing!
Oops! Missed a couple of limericks!
These got caught in the spam folder! If you have sent me a limerick and don't see it posted here, please contact me at Rebekah.meddles@gmail.com
Thank you Patricia for the next 2 limericks!
As summer comes to its end
It’s so nice to spend time with friends
Whether movies or lunch
...It’s more than a hunch
I wish I had more time to spend!

The very last Limerick....
This last limerick is from Steven...
{please let me know if you sent me a limerick and I didn't post it or give you your discount code - I may have missed some!}
There was an old man with a beard
Who said, "it’s just how I feared!
Two owls and a hen
Four larks and a wren
Have all built their nests in my beard.

From fellow birthday celebrator Jen!
There once was a girl named Jen
Who was really no good with paper and pen.
Try as she might,
She just couldn't write.
And missed out on a really discount on a pair of earrings for her birthday.

There once was a boy who played hockey
So good it made him quite cocky.
But then he got cut
So what the puck?
Now he works as a jockey!
Thank you to my dear friend Doneta for this great limerick!!

Love these limericks! Keep them comin'!
Thanks for the great limerick Bridget!
I know a little boy named James
He has little lions that he tames
He said they wouldn’t listen
Then they all went a missin
Or at least that’s what the little boy claims

Limerick numero..... um... I've lost count!
there was an ol' gal from the west
she wanted to give it her best
but no matter her go,
she only felt low
that she was never as good as the rest.
Thank you Dagne!

I love this time of year!
A funny limerick from my dear friend Sophie!
There once was a girl called Rebekah
Who wanted some poems, well heck yeah.
But no-one would write 'em
Though she threatened to bite 'em
-the only rhyme I have left now is "deck-chair".

Now THIS would be a dream come true!!
There once was a girl called Rebekah,
Creatively inspired by Lughnasadh,
One day the god Lugh,
Admired a ring or two,
And she became artist-in-residence at Tara.
Day 7... ...3 more days to go!
Not even the sale price of Goldfish Crackers.
And when I want another one,
The choices are way too fun,
Because Lunasas has no slackers!
.
There once was a girl who liked limericks...
Kids & teachers all love the long summer days,
But mid-August creates a kind of a haze.
With school starting soon,
It's time for a new tune,
That list of Things To Do goes up in a blaze!

...Limerick, limerick, limerick...
There was a lady who loved growing flowers,
But the slugs chewed them for hours & hours.
She snipped them in half,
With a delighted laugh,
And knew then that she had the power!

Limerick, limerick, limerick....
There was a lady who loved beautiful rings,
But she already had too many things.
So, she gave stuff away
Which made someone's day,
Then called on Lunasas for new bling!
Wow! tons of limericks coming in! I love them all! These next few are from Lisa.

There once was a wee silly goose
Who had quite a smelly caboose
So I lift her up high
And sniff by her thighs
It looks like you just took a deuce
from Emily and Tim!

What number is this??
The limericks are pouring in!
Number 7 is from Rebecca:
There once was a girl named Mary
who had quite a thing for berries
She ate them all day
Til the made her sway
And that's how she popped her cherry!

Limerick #6!!
Writing a lim'rick is hard,
My poor brain, it must be charred:
From beaches and sun,
And camping trip fun,
T'would be easier if I was a Bard.

Limerick #5!!!
Tristan likes to read,
New books he doesn't need.
The old ones are great,
He reads them 'till late,
Harry Potter is the best it's agreed.

Limerick #4
There is a little girl named Tannon,
Who went for a walk in a canyon.
She ran into a bear,
Who gave her a scare,
And out she shot like a cannon.

Limerick #3!!
There once was a boy named Dade,
And out in the sun he stayed.
His mommy was mean,
And made him wear sunscreen,
So now he only plays in the shade.

Ok, here goes... the next few limericks are from Kristen - great rhymes about her children!
There once was a girl named Biker,
And everyone really did like her.
She's fun when she giggles,
When she dances she jiggles,
We all want to be just like her.

First Limerick is here!
There once was a girl we call Nugs
Who had an obsession with jugs
It's no easy feat
But a girl's gotta eat
So she scales up my lap and she chugs
~Emily Upson
I picked out of the hat and Emily got 40% off anything in my shop! Great limerick Emily! Thank you!
