July 2009 Competition


Recommended Posts

Posted

Sorry about the delay in announcing this months competition! I've had a very busy week/weekend and am only now able to draw breath. :o

 

Peggy suggested some time ago that we have a limerick competition and we thought it would be a nice one for the end of the school year. Your limerick could be something to do with one of our members here on the forum, summing up your year implementing EYFS or a particular event/activity that you have done at your setting, generally just about children (runny noses, sticky fingers), exasperating parents, or your work place. Actually, let your imagination run wild and choose anything that takes your fancy! :(

 

If you're not sure where to start, then read a few of Edward Lear's limericks to inspire you. :(

 

When you have written your limerick just post it in this thread for our enjoyment! You can write as many as you like, but will only be able to choose one to be voted on at the end of the month. All limericks should be submitted by Sunday 26th July and voting will start on Monday 27th July till the end of the month.

 

Good luck! xD

reminder to self.. must read the rules

 

:o I don't understand? Am I being silly?

 

 

There once was a girl called Siobhan (or Siobhain? xD )

who just loved to eat corn,

Once summer's begun,

She'll have so much fun,

sunning herself on the lawn! :(

 

 

Ta da!

reminder to self.. must read the rules

 

You are welcome to make up a ditty

As long as it rhymes or is witty

Choose any old theme

However extreme

Just make sure you don't mention committee :o

There was an old lady from Kent

Whose back was exceedlingly bent

From years of wiping noses

Playing Ring-a Ring-a-Roses

With love freely given not lent!

 

 

Hmmm.......not sure that 'scans' but hey I have entered my first FSF competition - woohoo! :o

I am just beginning to rue

The fact that we have the Swine Flu

Yes I know that it's topical

Must escape somewhere tropical

Anyone want to come too!

 

 

Hey - there's no stopping me now! :o

 

Right....yes I know 'I won't give up the day job'!!!

And on the same subject - but a bit more naughty.......

 

We have the swine flu

What a huge pile of poo

And dads that get cross

Just because I'm the boss

Must really belong in a zoo!

 

 

Sorry.......I'll stop now ..........possibly/maybe :o

There was a young man DDC

Who liked nuffy stuffy for tea

He kept hens in a coop

And made snail soup

Which he fed to the blackbirds for free

Posted

Ofsted arrived at the the door

Causing staff to all drop to the floor

Children ran riot

Parents went quiet

And all I could say was NO MORE!

It is my son who makes the snail soup, not I! :o

 

Anyway, here is my first effort...

 

There once was an Ofsted inspector

Who thought that we'd really respect her

But she turned up at mine

So I plied her with wine

And fed her to Hannibal Lector!

 

BOOM BOOM

 

I'll get me coat...

No, it was a cheap one - wouldn't waste the decent stuff on an inspector :o

A young forum dweller named Weasley

Felt that her phone was quite measly

She took it back to the shop

And said it was a flop

So they charged her and the bill made her queasly

 

 

 

 

Poetic licence? couldn't find another word to rhyme with weasley lol

Here goes.....

 

I once stumbled upon a twee forum

Whose members have such fine decorum

Their support is tremendous

Their experience stupendous

FSF is a must for any quorum!

 

 

Hmmmmm, maybe I'll try a humerous one next

 

ppp

There was an expert said "play-

To build for tomorrow today"

The workers said "wow!"

The parents said "how?"

"Just watch- you'll see it will pay.".

There is a young lady called Cait

Who's really become a good mate

So glad that I've met her

There is no-one better

She's Cumbria's finest our Cait!

 

 

 

Just my liitle ode to my 'bestest' forum buddy :o

I'm sitting on the cooker

and I'm trying to get warm

with mugs of tea and jumpers

this really ain't the norm

I've shivered and I've shivered

and I've shivered all day long

and I've come to the conclusion

that something must be wrong.

 

I'm sitting in the freezer now

I'm trying to get cool

with bags of peas and chips and stuff

I'm feeling such a fool

I've sweated and I've sweated

and I've sweated all the night

and I've come to the conclusion

that I'm gonna be all right

 

with apologies that it's not a limerick - but I've got tonsillitis and feel right rubbish
