Only then will I head off home
And sort out my wet hair with a comb
I'll try a new style
With which I'll beguile
Everyone wherever I roam

I'll charm everybody I meet

If only those stories were real
Those aristos were the real deal
I'd be that house maid
Even if underpaid
If I could their secrets reveal

This heatwave is getting to me

GoldenLady Fri 03-Jul-26 16:34:16

This heatwave is getting to me
It's already one hundred and three

This heatwave is getting to me
It's already one hundred and three
Stripped down to my bra

If only those stories were real
Those aristos were the real deal
I’d be that house-maid
Even if underpaid
Who ended up with Lord Neil

He was older and really not bright

He was older and really not bright
He wooed with songs through the night

nanna8 Sat 04-Jul-26 01:14:08

He wooed us with songs through the night
(sorry)

Magenta8 Sat 04-Jul-26 07:00:08

He was older and really not bright
He wooed us with songs through the night
But we needed sleep

GoldenLady Sun 05-Jul-26 16:38:18

(This one got cut off in mid-limerick.)

This heatwave is getting to me
It's already one hundred and three
Stripped down to my bra
I need a cool spa

Wyllow3 Sun 05-Jul-26 18:17:54

Here we go, action on both.

This heatwave is getting to me
It's already one hundred and three
Stripped down to my bra
I need a cool spa
And shade under a loved oak tree

He was older and really not bright
He wooed us with songs through the night
But we needed sleep
We had to count sheep

He was older and really not bright
He wooed us with songs through the night
But we needed sleep
We had to count sheep
So we gave up without a fight

Next morning there was a cool breeze

Wyllow3 Sun 05-Jul-26 20:18:35

Next morning there was a cool breeze
I did rather hope he would freeze

Magenta8 Sun 05-Jul-26 20:26:34

Next morning there was a cold breeze
I did rather hope he would freeze
He shivered and shook

GoldenLady Mon 06-Jul-26 17:43:33

Next morning there was a cold breeze
I did rather hope he would freeze
He shivered and shook
And promoted his book

pably15 Mon 06-Jul-26 19:13:34

Next morning there was a cool breeze
I did rather hope he would freeze
He shivered and shook
And promoted his book
And fell asleep under the trees

A young girl just happened to pass

crazyH Mon 06-Jul-26 20:23:26

A young girl just happened to pass
He said she’s certainly my class

Wyllow3 Mon 06-Jul-26 20:30:57

A young girl just happened to pass
He said she’s certainly my class
I went to warn her

hollysteers Mon 06-Jul-26 21:23:43

A young girl just happened to pass
He said she’s certainly my class
I went to warn her
Told her he’d bore her

Magenta8 Tue 07-Jul-26 08:24:30

A young girl just happened to pass
He said she's certainly my class
I went to warn her
Told her he'd bore her
It would only end in a farce

She gave me a look of distain

Wyllow3 Tue 07-Jul-26 08:40:01

She gave me a look of distain
She'd known she had nothing to gain

hollysteers Tue 07-Jul-26 11:02:45

She gave me a look of disdain
She’d known she had nothing to gain
A gold digger, true

crazyH Tue 07-Jul-26 14:18:12

She gave me a look of disdain
She’d known she had nothing to gain
A gold digger, true
Her make-up a clue

GoldenLady Tue 07-Jul-26 14:49:56

She gave me a look of disdain
She’d known she had nothing to gain
A gold digger, true
Her make-up a clue
This limerick is hard to explain

Of course our affair ended badly

hollysteers Wed 08-Jul-26 09:13:41

Of course our affair ended badly
We each went our own way so sadly

Magenta8 Wed 08-Jul-26 11:12:07

Of course our affair ended badly
We each went our own way so sadly
We both had regrets

GoldenLady Wed 08-Jul-26 14:23:26

Of course our affair ended badly
We each went our own way so sadly
We both had regrets
Went home to our pets
