.Mad Kane has a regular limerick challenge.
She provides the first line, the rest is up to us.
Wedding Plans
A woman was instructed to wed
By her father who wanted, ‘twas said,To strengthen the strands
That bound neighbouring clans;
A prospect that filled her with dread.
A fellow was planning to wed
And dreamed the first night in his bed.But it was all in vain,
As she had a migraine,
So he had a cold shower instead.
A sovereign was planning to wed
He’d done it several times, it was said.Each of his wives
Had had truncated lives
As they left him, minus their head.
A fellow was planning to wed
A lady, a true thoroughbred.In the hay, in the stable,
She showed she was able
To be mounted and ridden and led.

ReplyDeleteAll four are very clever dear J Cosmo, I especially like your limerick regarding Henry VIII.
