Rollercoaster Ride

First thing I tried on today was a smile.
Later, I wore a frown.
Up went my mood while I sang in the rain.
Coming home wet brought me down.
Towards set of sun I was cheerful once more.
Until, as it does, down it went!
At bedtime the prospect of sleep cheered me up.
The absence of same left me spent.
It wasn’t the doldrums that kept me awake.
Or even the fear that my laughter was fake.
No. I worried my tears were not meant.

“Are we nearly there yet?”

Q.  Why are limericks like buses?
A.  Sometimes they come in threes!

 

Replying to back-seat cries,
our driver shouts Yes, soon! and sighs –
until passing just then
that old signpost again,
everyone thought he was wise.

 

Righto! (said the leader one day)
out of lockdown let’s make our way –
unless cases rise
to scary new highs,
ending the urge to make hay!

 

Rambling wild was our style
on explorings mile on mile –
up to half-way,
thrills ruled the day –
everything homeward was mild.

Fangs for That!

got a vampire in my belfry
and it seems he’s there to stay –
rang the pest control department,
leave him be was all they’d say –
if you spot a better answer
can you tell me right away?

Fleet of Foot

Select your leaders carefully
and shun the ones that dance
for when a boss just wants to strut
each day’s a wasted chance –
to make this world a finer place
you’d choose someone whose thoughts have grace.

The End Is Nigh!

Sights levelled, she takes careful aim –
He waits without flinching, quite tame –
One barrel is fired –
Our victim’s inspired –
That vaccine keeps him in the game!

Shipshapeless

Cooped up below deck in the dark
A voyage is no walk in the park
But it’s better to be
In here stir-cray-zee
Now the rest of the boat’s gone berserk!

Let It Rip!

 Shit happens and you gotta shout
 with feelings you wanna let out –
 even yer mum
‘as been known to cry Bum
 regardless of rules she might flout!
