The Queen's Tuesday Meme #11 ~ The Loud and Raucous Poetry Meme (Not)
Welcome to The Queen's Meme #11.A Tuesday meme Sometimes silly. Sometimes serious. Always fun!Step out of the box. Be creative. Use your imagination.No one's answers are quite like yours.And please, stay out of the dungeon.You don't want to go there.This week the questions are sheer poetry. Nonsensical. Cerebral. Challenging. The answers should be too.I have given you seven familiar limericks. Your job is to change them by filling in the blanks. Here's an example of a limerick.
There was an Old Man in a tree,Who was horribly bored by a Bee;When they said, 'Does it buzz?'He replied, 'Yes, it does!''It's a regular brute of a Bee!' Lines 1, 2 & 5 rhyme. Lines 3 & 4 rhyme. You can use more than one word to fill the blank but the end words must rhyme appropriately. Now fill in the blanks with the limericks I've given you. Don't think about them too much. Usually the first word that pops in your head can be used to make a very funny poem. Try it!




1.There was an Old Man of the sea,



Who lived upon buoy;



When that did not last,



He took off fast,



That nasty Old Man of flea .







2. There was a Young Lady whose haste,



Were unique as to color and paste;



When she opened them wide,



People all turned to hide,



And started away in post haste.







3.There was a Young Lady of whim,



Who casually sat on a hem;



When the door squeezed her skirt tight,



She exclaimed, 'oh how trite?



This courageous Young Lady of mayhem .







4.There was an Old Man with a stick,



Who bumped at kids with a tick;



But they called out, ' Stop it you ol' bag.



You're a horrid old drag!



So they smashed that Old Man with a kick.







5. There was a Young Lady whose cat,



Came untied when the birds sat on her hat,



But she said: 'I don't care if their in my hair !



All the birds in the air,



Are welcome to sit on my flat!







6. There was an Old Man of the hills,



Who never knew what he should instill;



So he tore off his hat,



And behaved like a brat,



That intrinsic Old Man of the quills.




7. There was an Old Man of hog,


Who had the most curious dog,


For while he was around,



He slept on the ground,


That funny Old Man of Prague.



This one is for Mimi...



8. There was a blogger of old,

who always did what she was told,

Until she started this limerick;

She realized it was no picnic.

Off to the dungeon she cajoled.
