Catty Limerick
I hope you’ll join me in writing a limerick with one of these two alternative first lines:
There once was a kitty named Brad…
or
There once was a fellow named Brad…
Here’s mine. (It’s a two-verse limerick, but a standard five-line limerick is fine, of course.)
Catty Limerick
By Madeleine Begun Kane
There once was a kitty named Brad
Whose attraction to catnip was rad.
He would sniff it and eat it
And quickly deplete it.
Was kitty addicted? A tad.
When his owner had failed to buy more,
The kitty sneaked into a store
And ate all the herb,
But got caught at the curb
Sound asleep and beginning to snore.
Please feel free to write your own limerick using the same first line and post it in my comments. And if you’re on Facebook, I hope you’ll join my friends in that same activity in my Limerick-Offs.

There once was a kitty named Brad
Spent most of his life really mad.
They had him spayed,
else he’d have strayed,
The aquarium fish were all glad.
There once was a fellow named Brad
Whose leanings made of him a lad
He followed the axioms
Of that bold magazine Maxim
And thought that made him quite Bad
There once was a fellow named Brad
A nice guy, but his breath? really bad!
Went out on a date,
Soon after they ate,
Out the window! The only escape route she had.
There once was a fellow named Brad
Who had a gay lover named Chad
his dad was a mess
’cause Brad wore a dress
His mom wasn’t mad, she joined GLAD!
There once was a fellow named Brad,
Who took “jumps to the left”, as a lad.
And with “steps to the right”
He rocked Janet all night.
Thank god, it was only a fad.
There once was a kitty named Brad
Who would only eat food made from shad.
But those herring-like fishes
He thought were delicious,
Made his breath smell exceedingly bad.
Brad as a lad…
There once was a fellow named Brad
Who never made his sweetheart mad.
Impeccably neat – – –
AND he lowered the seat.
Now who says all guys are all bad?
There once was a fellow named Brad
Showed up at the Olympiad
Though he had a bum knee
He did great on one ski
And began the new double helix twist-on-twist over-the-top Macfad.
These are just delightful. Please keep them coming!
There once was a tom cat named Brad
Who yearned for the writer called “Mad”
When asked for his wish…… See More
“To taste of her fish”
He grinned… and lapped up her shad!
Her hubby flew into a rage
Big kitty, did rattle his cage
And so, raving mad…
He shouted at Brad,
“That’s my dish, bad cat…DISENGAGE!”
There once was a kitty named Brad
Who grew up to be quite a cad!
His reputation in the alley
Forced his move to Silicon Valley
Because there, ‘CAD’ is 3D cool…and not bad!
Fun ones debby and Catherine. And Catherine, I’ll have to show yours to hubby Mark.
Great entries.
Here’s mine:
