Limerick photo captions
In this thread, post a photo, your limerick caption, and source info. https://static01.nyt.com/images/2019...0a90-jumbo.jpg When Joe’s slinging grits, I begin to obsess on what’s north of his chin, and grit-eating’s not the thing that I’ve thought in the space that precedes the word grin. Original caption: Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. served grits during a visit to Dulan’s Soul Food on Crenshaw [in Los Angeles]. The New York Times "California Today" newsletter (July 22, 2019). Richard Vogel/Associated Press. |

New husbands who fall in volcanos are prone to get brain-fluid-drain-nose. Most brides are not told that to have and to hold is so tricky, but Mrs. Chastain knows. Original caption: “The couple was married only days before the accident.” From “Newlywed wife rescues husband after volcano fall,” BBC (26 July 2019) https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-49132416 A relevant quote from the article: “Doctors say he is leaking cerebral spinal fluid through his nose, but did not break any bones other than a skull fracture and a cracked vertebrae.” |
These are great fun. I just haven't spied the way in to one of my own yet. I shall also have to re-learn how to post a picture. But if I am inspired, I will overcome. Meanwhile, I'll enjoy yours.

It's not something one celebrates, When a clown bumbles back through one’s gates. One can’t say it was nice To meet Donald twice – One thought he’d gone back to States. 'Boris Johnson, the new leader of the Conservative Party, became the country's 55th prime minister following the resignation of Theresa May. Here the Queen welcomes Mr Johnson during an audience in Buckingham Palace before he announced his new cabinet.' Source: 'Week in Pictures 20-26 July', BBC News website. |
Julie, I saw that Beeb thing the same night as you.
She’s more than just legs and tomaters. He rates her as one of the greaters. He fell for her twice Rather naughty—yet nice, Since his bride is much tufa than craters. |

Oh, I love this prime minister racket! I'm relieving the higher tax bracket ......while my title’s bedecked ......on my condoms and kecks, and I’ve splaffed it all over my jacket. ------------------------------------------------ Photo: The Guardian. "Why does Boris Johnson need a jacket with 'Prime Minister' on it?" Explanation for non-Brits: 'kecks' -- underpants; 'spaff' -- ejaculate. Johnson famously said that expenditure on historical child abuse investigations was "spaffing money up the wall". |
