A lovely new faucet and sink
Decided to drip through a chink.
“Look, ma: a pool!”
Cried the poor mother’s fool.
The plumber charged $699.
“Who did this?” Dad calls to the room.
The light’s on; he’s tripped on the broom.
His belts and neckties
Are knotted, mid-thigh.
Son says, “It’s The Fortress of Doom!”
There once was a mother of four
Who never could sweep up her floor.
The clothes and the toys
Were stuck beneath boys.
Daddy wonders who taught them to swore.
I wonder who the last one is based upon? 🤔

All limericks listed may most certainly be based upon the writer and her week.

I love how you abandoned the rhyme scheme in the first one to highlight the harsh reality of the situation without losing the humor.

😀 Thanks. That’s exactly what my thought process was: “Gotta rhyme with ‘sink’.. Oh, heck with that; that plumber was EXPENSIVE!”
