World’s Most Boring Limerick This exchange of limericks, originally posted in the “World’s Most Boring Limerick” challenge, was composed as a collaborative effort by Darrell Barnes, Matthew Carter and Lucy Newlyn. Matthew I once owned a flickering desk light, Whose bulb fitting wasn’t screwed tight, I gave it a spin, And it wedged in its rim, And now the lamp’s moderately bright. Darrell I read Matthew’s verse with alarm, ‘cos dodgy electrics get warm: a loose-fitting wire can cause a small fire. I do hope he’ll not come to harm. Matthew Last night a hand stifled my scream, As I was kidnapped by an armoured SWAT team, I was chucked in a car, And driven quite far, But woke up - it was all just a dream.
