Laughing Along With A Limerick

Good afternoon, everyone. Here is a new limerick challenge for you. Your word this week is:

There once was a judge named Judy,
Whose love for fudge was quite moody.
Day in and day out,
Without a doubt,
When she ran out, she felt truly broody.

Deficit

M.A.D. Works
FOWC With Fandango — Deficit

In shadows deep, a whisper calls,
The echo of a heart that stalls,
A quiet room, where dreams submit,
To the weight of loss, a silent deficit.

Yet in the dark, a spark ignites,
A flicker of hope in endless nights,
For every gap, a chance to fit,
To weave the light where shadows flit.

MESS

Tess’s Journey to Clarity

There once was a girl named Tess,
Whose thoughts were a tangled mess.
In her mind, doubts would spin,
She’d dream of a life within,
But she’s learning to rise and confess.

I cannot read minds, 

Your thoughts like whispered shadows, 

Elaborate, please 

A guessing game I cannot 

Win without the light of truth.

BATH
BASIN
BLOCK

The baboon desperately wanted a bath,
So he searched for a block, feeling quite daft.
He wandered through jungles, up hills, and through glades,
In hopes of a basin, where he could make waves!

TINSEL
GLITTER
GOWN

—

Sally was up for a prestigious award,
A moment of glory that she truly adored.
The ceremony beckoned, all dressed in black tie,
Excitement and nerves danced, like stars in the sky.

She needed a gown that would suit the grand night,
One that shimmered and glowed, a true vision of light.
Through countless stores, she wandered and searched,
But nothing enchanted, her hopes slightly perched.

Then, on the day of the event, her heart took a chance,
A gown in a tinsel color—oh, what a glance!
With each step she took as she slipped it on,
She glittered and sparkled; her worries were gone.

Right away, she knew, this was the dress,
A stunning reflection of beauty and finesse.
She’d be the hit of the ceremony, without a doubt,
In a world full of whispers, her joy would shout.

So, off to the gala, with dreams shining bright,
Sally stepped forth, ready to dazzle the night.
With laughter and cheers, the moment drew near,
In that tinsel gown, she conquered her fear.

Thrilling

Up, up, up, we climb so high,
The world below, a tiny speck in the sky.
Then down we go, with a wild whoosh,
Feeling like we’re riding on a flying broom.

Around the curves, we twist and turn,
Screaming with joy, our stomachs churn.
The wind in our hair, the thrill in our hearts,
This roller coaster ride, a true work of art.

JEWEL
EMERALD
RUBY

In a cave so deep, without any trouble,
Lay a jewel so green, the stunning emerald.
Its sparkle so bright, its beauty so rare,
A treasure so precious, beyond compare.

Next to it rested a ruby so red,
With a glow so warm, like the sun ahead.
Side by side, they shimmer and gleam,
In this magical cave, like a dreamy scene.

Luxury

In a land of luxury, oh so grand,
There lived a pig in a mansion so grand.
He wore a monocle and a top hat so fine,
Eating caviar and sipping on wine.

He lounged in a bathtub filled with champagne,
And danced the night away in the pouring rain.
His butler, a chicken, served him with glee,
As they waddled around in pure luxury.

HANDLE

CROWN

In a handle, there was a clown,
Who twirled and danced all around.
He brought laughter to the town,
And everyone cheered at the sound.

With a hat that looked like a crown,
He never wore a single frown.
The silliest clown in the town,
Bringing joy and fun all year round!

Oh nincompoop, so silly and kind,
You often leave me smiling, I don’t mind.
Your silly ways and funny acts,
Bring joy and laughter, that’s a fact.

You trip and stumble, but it’s okay,
You brighten up the dreariest day.
Beneath your goofiness, you’re really great,
You make life fun, we appreciate.

So, here’s to you, oh nincompoop dear,
Your happy spirit is always near.
In this serious world, you’re a delight,
Your cheerful presence makes everything bright.

CRINGE
COWER
BRUISE

I cringe and cower when I hear yelling
The pain and past bruises in my mind appear
Reminding me of past times, my heart is swelling
With memories that fill me with fear.

But I stand tall and face the day
Knowing that I am stronger now
Those painful memories may never go away
But I won’t let them hold me down.

Honesty in Law

Larry the lawyer can tell no lie
His honesty shines, you can’t deny
In the courtroom, he stands so tall
His integrity admired by all

With every word, his truth is clear
Clients trust him, without any fear
No deception, no deceit in sight
Larry’s honesty is his guiding light
