The Halloween Limerick Competition

deep dive
bee hive
don't go slow
quid pro quo
hand jive

There was a old vampyre called Drac
Who’s innards demanded a snack
While Drac hunted vittle
Van Helsing did whittle
Some stakes nice and sharp for attack

Fitfully I dreamt in my bed
Of wanting my wife quite dead
The thought did not swoon
Till I held to the moon
Her grimacing warm severed head

Ovaltine methinks...

sneeze
cheese
droopy goop
grilled cheese sneeze

Through window I gazed into black
From outside a demon sneered back
But the light was so bright
I realised with a fright
‘Twas my reflection which poised for attack

as i think about words that rhyme
and the fun they have dancing around each other
i think of the rhymes that inspire me

~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now the fifth daughter on the twelfth night
Told the first father that things weren’t right
"My complexion" she says "is much too white"
He said "Come here and step into the light"
He says "Hmm you’re right
Let me tell the second mother this has been done"
But the second mother was with the seventh son
And they were both out on Highway 61

Bob Dylan

It has been for a few years I believe, but I find it does turn into a popularity contest. I can see if I did a Limerick how it would be torn apart, No Thanks! 😉

your last two limericks were spooky and dark

Red beams shined brightly from his eyes,
Came howls, growls and his ear-piercing cries,
Stunk like a skunk; a tremendous hunk,
BigFoot came for our very lives

A (headless) wife’s revenge

There came suddenly a shortness of breath
And I collapsed at the feet my Beth
Her headless figurine
My guttural scream
As she chopped through my neck unto death
