This is my response to this week’s Flashback Track Friday prompt, where we were challenged:
Animal Magnetism
The Best of Intentions
Poor old Grandpa, though shaken, got grip,
Was determined no standards should slip,
But the giant of the three,
Tried to bounce on his knee,
And immediately fractured his hip.
This limerick may not make much sense on its own, but is the latest in a series. The others may be found here.
The Friday Groan
The fastest fish in the world:
The motor pike.
Making you groan… any day of the week!
Encouraged
inspired by Fandango’s One Word Challenge (FOWC) of 28 January 2022, insist.
I’d got pregnant the lass from next door,
She saw wedding, and marriage, and more,
Said her pa would insist,
We cemented the tryst,
And would urge me on with his twelve bore.
Trip’d Up
During pregnancy Grandpa was key,
In his element, and so was she,
But he could not disguise,
His undoubted surprise,
When from out of her belly popped three.
This limerick may not make much sense on its own, but is the fifth in a series. The others may be found here.
The Thursday Groan
Where would you weigh a whale?
At a whale-weigh station, of course.
Making you groan… any day of the week!
Redundancy
inspired by Fandango’s One Word Challenge (FOWC) of 27 January 2022, belt.

Got a booking when someone got married,
He turned up, belt and braces,
Clutching two double basses,
Said they weren’t half a bugger to carry.
