More Limericks for the Contest

We have come up with two more limericks for the contest (see yesterday's post). We hope you enjoy them. Pippa, your interest in Roxie inspired the first one!

Big brown eyes, auburn hair, oh so foxy
Long lean body, glamour nails, she's called Roxie
Gentle sway to her hips
A tender kiss to your lips
You're under the spell of a dachsie!

There once was a wiener named Beaner
There was no wiener keener or meaner
He'd win every fight
Then he'd bathe through the night
There was no wiener cleaner than Beaner ... either

Mom is officially unemployed today and through Monday morning when she starts her new job. Not that she plans to stay home with us. She is going up to the new house today with Grandpaw to deliver some big things. Tomorrow she goes to the dentist. Saturday she takes her car in for its scheduled check-up and gets our new laptop computer from the computer guy. Sunday she will take us up to the country to live. It's going to be a busy few days but we hope to keep you posted.

And we will probably think of another limerick or two that we will have to share with you ... In the meantime, here is one inspired by Aunt Bec ... with multiple last lines.

There once was a woman verbose
She tortured her sister in prose
She'd fracture the rhyme
In limerick each time
In frustration she got punched in the nose

Each year to her grave bring a rose

Drown her out with headphones by Bose

Slam the door and forsake, keep it closed!

Peace would abound when she finally would doze

With feigned interest the sister would pose

Shut up or I'll step on your toes!

Do not bore me with your petty woes

Make her stop, make her stop, on it goes!

Limerick Contest

Over at the Wonderful World of Wieners, Hallie is running a contest for limericks about dachsies. Contestants are leaving their entries in the comments section. We have entered two limericks so far. Some of the entries are a little colorful but all of them will give you a chuckle.

These are the ones we have left:

There once was a woman with money
She has three dashshunds - quite funny.
They run and they play.
They entertain her all day
And now the vet is the one with the money!

I'm one of six kids ... it's no crime
"We want a dog!" we did chime
A long dog Dad chose
And it was right on the nose
'Cause we could all pet at one time!

Both of them are based on a true story ...
