Trippy Limerick
Once again, it’s Limerick-Off time. I hope you’ll join me in writing a limerick with this first line:
A woman was planning a trip…
Here’s mine. (It’s a two-verse limerick, but a standard one-verse limerick is fine, of course.)
A woman was planning a trip,
When her husband said, “Please, get a grip.
Our bank account’s low.
We have one-way cash flow.”
But his wife said, “Enough with your lip!”
“You’ve been wasting our cash at the track
And on poker and possibly crack.
I’m sick of this life
And of being your wife.
So goodbye, it is you who should pack.”
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 Facebook Limerick-Off post.
To receive an email alert whenever I post a new Limerick-Off, please send me an email requesting the alerts. You’ll find my email address on the upper right sidebar, right above my photo. Thanks!

A woman was planning a trip
To a place where she could wear flip
Flops all day long
And just wear a thong
While cold daiquiris she would sip
A woman was planning a trip
‘Til she fell and shattered her hip
Her hospital stay
Was no getaway
And the cost about made her flip!
“No government healthcare” some say.
“ ‘Cept Medicare, THAT seems okay!”
Thus deeper in debt
We continue to get
Soon none will be able to pay!
A woman was planning a trip
But she was tragically un-hip
She booked on the Titanic
And called out in a panic
“The boat! It’s just done a flip!”
A woman was planning a trip
On an Alaskan Cruise liner ship
She longed to see life in the wild
And a past gov’ner much defiled
But the economy took a great dip
Twas a sad woman who stayed home
On Travel Channel she did roam
She tuned into Fox
She ate a lot a lox
And stopped dreaming of blue ocean foam.
Thanks for your fun limericks, and please keep them coming!
Love your limerick MadK. Poker, the ponies and crack-lol!
A woman was planning a trip.
A week on the Las Vegas Strip.
When she saw all the porn,
she felt reborn,
and purchased a new leather whip.
And the woman was soon heard to quip,
“I think I’ll pierce my lower lip.”
But you won’t see a thing,
of her newly pierced ring,
unless you look under her slip.
A woman was planning a trip
But her husband said, “This is a gyp!
“A week at Niagara
“With a pound of Viagra
“But first, a vasectomy snip?””
A woman was planning a trip
Thinking that she was so hip
She took LSD
And giggled – tee hee
until she started to flip (out).
A woman was planning a trip
And decided to take her son Chip!
The kid turned out to be a pain in the neck
Because he was complaining like heck…
Sea sick saying: I need to get off this ship
A woman was planning a trip…
Her daughter said “Mother get a grip.”
“You can’t take a flight
Without entering the spotlight
When the guy from TSA makes you strip.”
Thanks Scott! Glad you liked my limerick. I especially liked your punchline. And thanks everyone for your delightful limericks. Please keep them coming!
A woman was planning a trip,
Knowing that she was likely to strip.
So her bag was scanty
With nary a panty
But through customs she sported a slip.
A woman was planning a trip
And decided to travel by ship:
“Plane travel demands
I allow roving hands
Or else electronic’ly strip.”
Madeleine – loved your story and the track/possibly crack rhyme!
A woman was planning a trip
To ANYWHERE out of her zip
But her miniscule stash
Of available cash,
Changed her goal to a new shiny whip.
