The End: a limerick for 2016
As 2016's ending draws near I look back with regret, not good cheer, At the jobs left undone Or just barely begun But I'll turn the page with the New Year! Written - too late as usual - for Rashmi's weekly limerick challenge over at MindandLifeMattersBlog I haven't entered nearly as many of these weekly challenges … Continue reading The End: a limerick for 2016
Weekly Limerick Challenge: Over the Years
This one is too late to enter Rashmi's challenge which she set last week over at Mind and Life Matters blog, but as I'd finally got around to writing it, I thought I'd share it here anyway, before I get on with writing the next one! I once saw a girl full of fears Who … Continue reading Weekly Limerick Challenge: Over the Years

Weekly Limerick Challenge (a bit late): Homonyms
So I spotted Rashmi's prompt to write a limerick containing two or more homonyms, round about the day after her weekly challenge closed. A couple of days after that, I sat down and wrote a limerick. Then I went on holiday to a place that had no wifi, so didn't get a chance to post it … Continue reading Weekly Limerick Challenge (a bit late): Homonyms
Weekly Limerick Challenge: Future
Can you write a limerick about the future? That's the challenge set this week by Rashmi of MindandLifeMatters. This is what I came up with... Who knows what the years have in store? The future's a half-opened door. We'll step through one day And we'll look back and say: "I think I was happier before!"
Weekly Limerick Challenge: Antonyms
The battle 'tween Leave and Remain has driven us Brits quite insane Now Leave are delighted But we feel disunited As divided as Abel and Cain. Written for MindandLifeMatters weekly limerick challenge: this week's challenge was to come up with a limerick with two antonyms in the same line. For some reason #Brexit is seeping … Continue reading Weekly Limerick Challenge: Antonyms
Limerick Challenge Week 30: Antonyms
Some fantastic time travelling limericks here! Honoured to tie for third place with Peter – who’d have thought we’d end up doing this when I used to nag you about data entry procedures a few years ago!

Trav’lling in time can be great
Though dangerous, ‘specially of late
If you travel too long
It can all go quite wrong
Then much worse than death is your fate!

We’re soaked when the skies
Shed big tears through God’s eyes
From His laughter. He thought we were funny.
