Louise Comb has written a book of OFAH limericks. She is desperate to get them published. The idea is original and ‘off the wall’, yet unfortunately she can’t find any agents who are a right ‘fit’ for her book. Louise (Pen name: Blulu) has given us a few tasters as she has a strong feeling we will find them all bonnet de douche.
In her book, it reads one limerick per episode, with one for each main character, and one dedicated to John Sullivan to finish with. Below are a few random OFAH Limericks, to give us a taste, of course get in touch if you are a publisher and can help Louise publish her book.
Yuppy Love Rodney and Cassandra first meet Under circumstances funny and sweet He falls for her truly She falls for him too-ly And Del falls through the bar – what a treat A Touch of Glass The lads bump into Lady Ridgemere And arrange to clean her chandelier Sadly, they drop it And in the end have to hop it So...not millionaires this time, this year Time on Our Hands After dining at the Trotter pied-à-terre Raquel’s dad spots an antique watch there Albert’s input is wavy Serving coffee as gravy And Del makes it to millionaire He Ain't Heavy, He's My Uncle Around Dora (Marlene’s mum) the men flock Especially, Uncle Albert and Knock-Knock Like an old jealous lout Knock-Knock knocks Albert out Albert pees in his chair from the shock Del Boy There once lived a dealer, called Del Whose life’s work was to buy and to sell Ever skiving, conniving While ducking and diving Ask his significant other, Raquel Trigger What can one say about Trigger? His IQ could probably be bigger From cradle to grave He will call Rodney, “Dave” For reasons impossible to figure
Fancy adding your own OFAH Limericks in the comments below?
Looking forward to the book. 🙂
I thought I would have a go myself..
I’m gonna buy some lovely gold chains.
Boycies got the money, I’ve got the brains.
I told my consortium
Arnie’ll be sorting em
But he just buggered off with chest pains
They are all great. I loved the chandelier one and the knock, knock the best. I’ve had a go. Nowhere near as funny but great fun to do. Maybe we should all contribute to Louise and she can include some in her book?
As Financial Adviser Rod gloated,
‘the price is two-hundered!’ he quoted.
Del too lost his pride
as the keys were inside
It was worse news for Del that they floated.
Del thought that the statue was ‘pucka’
In greed though, was conned as a sucker.
“He’s no wicket-keeper,
Kuwera’s much deeper.”
Said Rahm, laughing with his ‘old mucka’
In a bomb shelter, made from scrap lead
The Trotters were chatting in bed
Grandad spoke lore
of the grim tales of war
Bored, Del drank whiskey instead!
Thanks Louise, well done on your poems , they are Fabulous 😁👍
Thank you so much for your kind comments and suggestions, much appreciated and good luck with your poetry book too Louise XXX
Hi I recently had some of my poems made into a book, one poem being called The Groovy Gang. I got them printed by Bookpublishing UK in Peterborough, and they done a fantastic job. Hope this is helpful.
Much appreciate Philip. I will check that out. Good luck with your book – Louise
