Happy Monday to you all and welcome, once again, to Esther Chilton’s regular kick-off-the-week challenge.
Today, Esther’s one-word prompt is SICK. So can you write a limerick using the word SICK in it somewhere?
See if you can write a SICK limerick to entertain us all. The question is, will it be good or will it be bad? There are so many meanings to the word, so you have a lot of freedom. Most of all, see if you can make us laugh.
If you prefer to side-step 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.

I’m sick of being sore
And I really swore!
I’ve hurt my thumb
And its gone numb
After I caught it in the door!

Yikes!
I hope, for your sake, that this is fiction rather than reality

No it’s real, apart from the door bit. I don’t know how I hurt it, and it’s sore not numb….

The little old lady felt sick
No fever, just really felt ick
She went to the bar
Drank too much, by far
She’s under that slab by the stick

I’m sick I almost missed this post!
Of Esther’s challenge with Lance as host
But end of day
I said “hurray!”
And wrote limerick, just to boast

(No real boasting, but i couldn’t work in “most”, “toast” or “coast”, so… 😉 )

Since nonsense in limericks is acceptable, and many are cheesy, a legitimate ending could have been, “And wrote a limerick, cheese on toast.”
I love your contribution though, as usual.

I was thinking of doing something similar. Maybe next time…

A rambler called Old Bony Tony,
Walked the Peak paths, which were often quite stony.
But then he fell sick,
And, despite needing a stick,
He’d still roam the hills on his pony.

Old Bony Tony has to be a favourite of mine! Very entertaining 😊
