Happy Monday to you all and welcome, once again, to Esther Chilton’s regular Limerick challenge.
Esther and I have just returned from a great week at the Swanwick Writers’ Summer School.
Esther delivered an excellent workshop entitled ‘Location! Location! Location!’ which went down very well with a roomful of delegates who threw themselves into the exercises. Our esteemed tutor majored on placing the reader in a location by showing rather than telling and on using the five, or six, senses to do so. The participants produced some very good work in the short time that they were given. They presented their efforts to their classmates and received rapturous applause.
Today, Esther’s one-word prompt is SWEET. So can you write a limerick using the word SWEET in it somewhere?
If you feel like writing a limerick about something else that is currently on your mind, have a go! Just let it flow. Delight us all with your creativity.

Oh dear! I have a sweet tooth…
I eat sweets sour and smooth
A few every day
A dozen I’d say
Now my teeth are terribly looth!

Very good.
I confess that I had to look up the word ‘looth’.
Happy to learn something new!

I thought I’d made it up. Sounded better that loose!

Perhaps your limerick should have a lisp all the way through?
From the urban dictionary:
Looth
He is a very kind and gentle man he will open doors and compliment on the beautiful people he sees.
So your tooth could well be a looth in your mooth.

there once was a lad oh so sweet
who wouldn’t take much time to eat
he hated most foods
but chocolate was good
in heaven is next time we meet
