A Limerick Bite (Limerick-Off Monday)
It’s Limerick-Off time, once again. And that means I write a limerick, and you write your own, using the same first line. Then you post your limerick here and, if you’re a Facebook user, on Facebook too.
The best submission will be crowned Limerick Of The Week. (Here’s last week’s Limerick Of The Week Winner plus the Honorable Mentions.)
How will your poems be judged? By meter, rhyme, and cleverness. (If you’re feeling a bit fuzzy about limerick writing rules, you can find some helpful resources listed here.)
I’ll announce the Limerick of the Week Winner right before I post next week’s Limerick-Off. So that gives you a full week to submit your clever, polished verse.
I hope you’ll join me in writing a limerick with this first line:
A guy in the mood for a bite…
or
A gal in the mood for a bite…
Here’s mine:
A Limerick Bite
By Madeleine Begun Kane
A guy in the mood for a bite
Was upset — not one rest’rant in sight.
All he found was a deli
Whose odor was smelly.
Did he live through his meal there? Not quite.
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 on 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, in the “Author” section just below my Limerick-Offs button. Thanks!

A guy in the mood for a bite,
Felt he fancied some Turkish Delight.
But the harem appalled him
As all the girls mauled him,
And the Sultan just laughed at his plight!
*
A guy in a mood for a bite,,,
Had dentures that were truly a sight.
They had sparkle and glitter!
When he chewed he was a spitter…
Anorexia was truly his plight!
A gal in the mood for a bite…
Met a guy who wants something light
They got going
For a light fling
But it got right through a raucous night
A guy in the mood for a bite
Had searched all day and night
Finally finding Louie
For some ratatouille
And it tasted just right
The Hungry Nurse Limerick
A gal in a mood for a bite
Can’t eat out coz the schedule is tight
Stuck with new resident
And two patients in vent
She’s unsure if he’d care for them right
A gal in the mood for a bite
Couldn’t find anyone to ease her plight
So she bought a gun
To have some fun
And at a NRA convention, found Mr Right.
A guy in the mood for a bite
Felt something wasn’t quite right
His lap band, you see
squeezed his large tummy
It had gotten too tight in the night.
A guy in the mood for a bite
Though his breeches were already tight,
At the drive thru he said
“Super-size it instead”,
Yet he wonders about all his plights.
A vamp in the mood for a bite
Wanted to ensure it was right
Convention she flounted
It was calories she counted
When she supped in the mist of Twilite.
A guy in the mood for a bite
Stepped out, in a cape, for the night
It was foggy and gray
WOW! He LOVED it that way!
Let’s see now…whose neck’s the right height?
A gal in the mood for a bite
Was alone on a Saturday night
So she called up her mom
And Mom’s boyfriend, Tom.
They hit ‘Tonio’s bar–just right!
Very few singles on Saturday
But enough for her liking, anyway.
She danc’d the tarantella
With a hot, handsome fella
But the penne was only “eh,” okay.
So Tom took her mom and went home.
Her new beau, a poet, read a tome.
By a quarter to one,
They were havin’ some fun
On the beach, the waves slapped ’em with foam.
A gal in the mood for a bite,
Found Eric, in Shreveport, one night.
While losing her will,
To just stay with Bill,
She spied Pam and then quickly took flight.
‘Twas a guy in the mood for a bite.
Blood was this vampire’s delight.
He’d wait until dark.
Then lurk in the park.
Giving young women such fright!
A gal in the mood for a bite
Told her waiter, “Suggest something light.”
He felt if he answered her
question “Lets discuss your
restraint,” it wouldn’t be right.
Thanks so much everyone for your fun limericks, and please keep them coming!
a gal in the mood for a bite
wasnt looking for fat free or lite
she said super size it
shake, fries, the whole gamut
washed it down with a large diet sprite
A guy in the mood for a bite
Swept his cape aside and went for the site
But the girl in his clutches
Was hobbling on crutches
They both tripped and he gave up the fight
A guy in a mood for a bite
Ate a candle and half a flashlight
“I’m on a new diet,
I urge you to try it
Now I’m lighter but not very bright.”
A guy in the mood for a bite
Asked a girl if she’d stay for the night.
She said “I won’t quibble,
Whether a bite or a nibble,
But that’s all you be getting tonight.”
A guy in the mood for a bite
Was in for a terrible fright
As he lunged for her throat
She grabbed onto his scroat
And squeezed ‘til the stars shone quite bright
Loved all I read here!

A guy in the mood for a bite,
needed to take some respite,
But Vampires don’t sleep
nor do they pray
especially when it’s so late at night.

Dined out on a Jewish Moms’ Night;
When time came to retire,

“Ladies, was ANYthing all right?!”

A gal in the mood for a bite
issued a most cordial invite.
But she failed to surmise
her approaching demise,
as she snacked ’til first light.

was craving a box lunch tonight.
Some breast and some thigh,
topped off with hot pie.
A true culinary delight.

And polishes his fangs
While dreaming of necks that excite.

of an omelette made out of egg white
said, “I’d rather French toast
but then I couldn’t boast
that I wear my jeans in a size ‘slight.’
Once Bitten
a gal in the mood for a bite
came out of her coffin last night
stood alone in the dark
near the dog walking park
flaming in the first morning light
A guy in the mood for a bite
Found one during his flight
The air hostess’s rear
Was deliciously near
He gave the poor girl quite a fright
A guy in the mood for a bite
meets this girl and it’s love at first sight.
Then a werewolf adores her
but the vampire scores her.
In a nutshell, the series ‘Twilight.’
A slight tweak to my limerick –
A guy in the mood for a bite
Found a tasty one during his flight
The air hostess’s rear
Was deliciously near
He gave the poor girl quite a fright
A guy in the mood for a bite
Went out in a mood rather uptight.
He took a gander
At a man called Evander
And took a chunk from his ear in a fight.
A gal in a mood for a bite,
but wanting to keep her mood light,
put to test an old theorem,
to skip negative serum.
It’s B-positive for her tonight.

went out on the town for a night
til by a vamp he was found
left dry on the ground
oh what a ghastly sight…
A gal in the mood for a bite

So she ate tiny nibbles
And drank tiny dribbles
Was HUNGRY and woke in the night.

Desired to seem erudite.
So he feasted on brains
And imaged some drains
Of stupidity, now put to flight.

somehow got entangled in a food fight
not a morsel did he eat
not even a silver of meat
though it lasted all through the night.

He seduced a young gal,
sunk his teeth in her jowl,
and was easily done before light.

Took a stroll on halloween night
He sunk into a young gals neck
she said blimey what the heck
I think you and I could get on alright !

Was enrapt by a limerick website.
Through his hunger, he bet,
He’d just eat INTERNET!
‘Cause for each eight bits he’d get a byte!
A gal in the mood for a bite,
Thought she’d thaw something out for that night.
When she opened the freezer,
The sight didn’t please her,
In fact she lost all appetite.
When the stench from the box hit the air,
She thought she saw something like hair!
A whole body dismembered, but then she remembered,
She’d bought Dahmer’s old Frigidaire!

In the back of his van
Where they reveled in foot long delight.
