Penguin
The boys asked me to write a penguin limerick a while ago. This weekend I finally managed to come up with the necessary ridiculous rhymes. I ended up writing two because I couldn’t bear to leave poor penguin in the difficult predicament! As usual my sons provided the illustrations:
There once was a tragic young penguin
With a beak that just kept on extendin’
It grew long and rubbery
And got caught in some shrubbery
Where his wailing was truly heart-rendin’But luckily people nearby by
Responded to poor penguin’s cry
They untangled his beak
Got him back on his feet
Then all shared a warm apple pie
Penguin with his beak caught in the shrubbery – but don’t worry: help is on the way!
First class!
poor penguin…
Thanks Carol, yes poor penguin – that’s why I couldn’t possibly leave him wailing in the shrubbery!
At least he got to eat some pie in the end! Another fab limerivk lovely xxx
Thank you. I’m all for a happy ending!
Aw poor penguin, glad he got freed and fed. Love your limericks, they always make me chuckle
Yes, I felt I had to rescue him from the shrubbery! Thanks for commenting Louise. X
This is fantastic and really made me smile
Excellent installations xx
*illustrations – don’t you just love predictive text??
Ha Ha! I love the way it comes up with silly alternatives! Thanks for comment, Katie – glad you liked the limericks! x
Haha. Totally diggin’ the extendin’ rhyme. Glad you didn’t leave him trapped, poor thing. Had a proper giggle at this. x
I couldn’t think of any decent rhymes for penguin but I love bad rhymes anyway! Thanks Chrissie xx
Absolutely brilliant! Well done – and I am so glad that you didn’t leave that penguin hanging! Thank you for linking to Prose for Thought
