To carry on,....

Today I saw the first mince pies
Too soon for all they symbolize
It’s simply absurd

Money doesn`t make you happy
Without it life is rather crappy
Live within means
Eat lots of baked beans

I'm sure Jean won't mind stumping up
Drips in diamonds, gold-plated cup
And flunkies galore
Money, even even more
As bubbly champagne she'll sup.

Thank you for the explanation FarNorth but I don't think I will bother anymore.

FarNorth Mon 08-Mar-21 16:21:55

That's the rule over on the 'very strict' thread Billybob but limericks don't always have to stick to that, as long as they scan.
That's the tricky bit, tho. smile

At home I'm called the Queen of Clean
All surfaces have a great sheen
And that reminds me
Must charge a large fee
Next time I help out my chum Jean.

I’m desperate to make a few bob
I'll do any kind of a job
I’ll be your skivvy
I’ll clean your privy
And that filthy oven and hob

There was a jeweller from Jarrow
Who once had a market barrow
Though he sold cheap tat
He was a fat cat
His children, all went to Harrow

Billybob the limerick rhythm is 88558 and we try to keep to that so again I’ve altered your line slightly

She died very lonely but rich
But what she'd wanted was to hitch
Men found her too lean
And could be quite lean
But fashionistas she did bewitch.

She died very lonely but rich
But what she’d wanted was to hitch
To someone most suave
