Slightly Spooky Totally Silly Limerick 3: Dazed and Confused


The zombie strode forth in a daze
Too slow to really give chase
So it stopped and thought
Pondering nought
Then fell to the ground in a haze

The zombie strode forth in a daze
Too slow to really give chase
So it stopped and thought
Pondering nought
Then groaned ahead on its way

The zombie strode forth in a daze
Too slow to really give chase
So it stopped and thought
Pondering nought


The Slightly Spooky Challenge!

The third Slightly Spooky Totally Silly Limerick above is complete, but in a way it may also not be. The challenge? Simply add your own last line (to this piece of nonsense) in the comments below.

Obviously, there’s no prize on offer… ‘tis just for fun to get those creative juices flowing, stirring and simmering… and shrieking, of course.

    Then poof – it was gone

    Challenge accepted! What fun!

    The zombie strode forth in a daze
    Too slow to really give chase
    So it stopped and thought
    Pondering nought
    Wishing its brain was replaced.

    The zombie strode forth in a daze
    Too slow to really give chase
    So it stopped and thought
    Pondering nought
    Its memory completely erased.
