July Limericks

All of these limericks were originally posted to Esther Chilton’s Laughing Along With A Limerick during the month of July. Some I have slightly modified.

I’ve added two photos for those who prefer a picture to a thousand words of nonsense.

There once was an egg on a wall.
As he sat he could see and felt tall.
When he fell one could tell
that he didn’t fall well,
but no matter. There’s breakfast for all.
(Prompt word: “fell” July 7, 2025)

Flowers in a vase

There once was a wonderful sneeze
that came out with a shout and much ease.
Then the sneeze came again
and again and again
till it stopped after just one more sneeze.

He was rich and once handsome. He bought
far more stuff than enough. He was caught
without room, without space,
but with belly and face
that expanded beyond what it ought.
Prompt word: “rich” July 21, 2025

Are there cells where the mind thinks and dwells
filled with words that no sane person yells?
Is that rack for my hat
by that witch with a cat
which is black laced with polka dot spells?
Prompt word: “cells” July 28, 2025

I enjoy walking, poetry and short prose as well as taking pictures with my phone.
