Happy New Week to you all and welcome, once again, to Esther Chilton’s regular Monday challenge. In UK, the hot, sunny weather is welcome, but we must all take care of ourselves as the conditions could endanger us if we are not careful. So, sit in the shade and write a limerick to keep us entertained.
Today, Esther’s one-word prompt is SCORCH. So can you write a limerick using the word SCORCH in it somewhere?
If you want to swerve around the weekly prompt, please feel free to ignore it and write a limerick to suit your current mood and feelings. Just let it flow. Delight us all with your creativity.
Post your submissions in the Comments on this post.

Today I’ll be on the porch
To avoid the heat and the scorch
It’s really hot here
So with a nice cold beer
I’ll sit out at night with my torch!

I watched the weather today
It’ll be a scorcher, they say
Try to stay cool
Maybe go to the pool
Just be careful, I pray

There once was a primitive dude
Who learned to scorch his food
No longer to eat
Only raw meat
Cooked mammoth is better, if crude

There once was a comic called Brian,
Whose wit was as hot as an iron,
His words could scorch
Like a blowtorch
Withal; he was more lamb than lion!

Very good.
I wonder which Brian was on your mind.

By trade I’m a dragon slayer.
I ride on a wing and a prayer.
A scorch could mean death,
So I dodge fiery breath
To survive as the oldest sword player.
