Ten Random Limericks

By Kaitlyn Grissom

Atchoo

There once was a snail named Atchoo

Getting clean was a hard thing to do

He’d shower each hour

But after each shower

He’d sneeze and get covered in goo.

Cheetohs

I’m sitting in my comfy chair

The Cheetohs are way over there

I’d sure like some food,

But my legs just won’t move

I tell you, it just isn’t fair.

Bees

There once was a fellow named Jack

Who dressed all in yellow and black

It’s a reflex for me

‘Cause he looks like a bee

When I see him, to give him a smack.

My New Shoes

I just got a new pair of shoes

The soles and the toes are worn through

The worst thing is, though

That I’m missing a toe

And my feet have got holes in them too.

Algebra

I think I do math pretty well

But this algebra class can be hell

I don’t think it’s fair

To put letters in there

‘Cause I never learned how to spell.

Tuna

My mom makes us eat this one brand

Of tuna I simply can’t stand

I don’t mind the meat-

It’s tasty and sweet

It’s the tailfins I find in the can.

It’s Hot

This summer it got really hot

So hot that I started to rot

I’ll crumble away

By the end of the day

And by nightfall I’ll be just a spot.

Fat

I needed to work on my abs

And my legs, they were covered in flab

So I started to run

But it wasn’t much fun

So I opted to just take a cab.

Soap Suds

On one Monday when I was bored

I put soap suds all over the floor

My mom really flipped

When she walked in and slipped

But my feet sure don’t stink anymore!

Limericks

A limerick is not hard to write

It’s simple and funny and light

It’ll sound really neat

If you get the right beat

Which can be pretty hard if you’re white.
