Limerick writers please...

[p4cks]

I'm hoping the clever people within this corner of PH can help.

The GF and I were meant to be going to a wedding this year, but CV19 put a stop to that so we bought the couple a card and we want to put a limerick in it. The thing is we spent two (albeit drunken) nights and we only got as far as the first line.

She's given up but I still think there's some legs in the idea of having a funny limerick within the card, so I put it to you to help me with it.

Unsurprisingly the first line that we managed to come up with was "there once was a couple from Glasgee/Glasgow"

Known facts:

• One woman, one man
• They're both living in Glasgow
• Wedding was going to be in the Highlands
• CV19 stopped it

Do your best.

What are their (first) names?

[Bill]

There was a young couple from Glasgee,
Whose wedding was awaited with glee,
But a virus was spread,
That kept us abed,
So on zoom we will have to party.

[Roboticarm]

There once was a couple from Glasgow
But a virus made weddings a no no
They had to lock down
So no wedding gown
But do not fret
Cos I'd place a bet
It'll be over soon
So don't be a goon
Cos soon you'll be on yer honey moon

Does honeymoon work with goon ?

Needs work but perhaps a few suggestions from different people can be merged into something great

[Spare tyre]

Square gaw ye


That above needs to be at the end

Can I suggest that's not a limerick?

Here you go:-

There once was a couple from Glasgow
Whose honeymoon plans were a no-go
The restrictions we're told
Made them put them on hold
So now they'll be shopping at Costco

[languagetimothy]

There was a young couple from Glasgow
Whose wedding was up a Munro
Then along came a virus
Which knocked us all sideways
On the rsvp we said "no"

[Voldemort]

Invite to a wedding in Glasgow?
Sweet Jesus, fking hell NO!
The lock’ll be picked
The car’ll be nicked
Tell them No Way will we go.

[NDA]

There were two lovers from Scotland
Whose wedding was sadly abandoned
There was no consummation
With virus throughout the nation
The bride will sadly stay chastened

[evenflow]

In the Highlands a wedding was planned
None attended cos travel was banned
There was no drunken fight
Nor indeed a first night
So the groom had to use his hand

[Mr Obertshaw]

There was a young couple from glasgow
Who's wending turned into a no show
It wasn't cos they aren't lovers today
But because a virus nearly killed BoJo...

[SCEtoAUX]

A young lady, in Glasgow, due to wed
By the groom, to the highlands, she'd be led
But a nasty disease
Brought the bride to her knees
So he took her up Ben Nevis instead

Tesco is easier to say....

Yeah, but it's not as special.

Alternative version.

There once was a couple from Glasgow
Whose honeymoon plans were a no-go
The virus it seems
Put an end to their dreams
So now they'll be shopping at Costco

That's all folks!

There once was a couple from Glasgow,
With a rainbow of love to show.
But the wedding plans fell flat,
When someone ate a bat,
So in a window their rainbow had to go!



There once was a man from Glasgee,
Who’d proposed while down on one knee.
Covid meant they won’t be wed,
But he’s luckier in bed,
As wives put out less than a fiancée!

[p4cks]

These are great, I'm impressed!

I've quickly scribbled this, but struggling for the final verse:

There once was a couple from Glasgow
Their wedding it was a no-go
It's just for now
Don't raise that eyebrow
.......
