Bored Limericks

I took part in another of Mad Kane's Limerick Off Mondays
and received an Honorable Mention!

 The RULES: She writes a limerick and you write your own, using the same first line, though the winners seem to change them leaving the last word only: A woman felt terribly bored…* or A gal on a corporate board…* or A fellow who slept on a board….*  or A youngster complained he was bored…*  or A fellow was cutting a board…*   or An animal burrowed and bored…*
Then you post your limerick on her blog or if you’re a Facebook user, on Facebook too. 
The best submission gets crowned Limerick Of The Week or an Honorable mention!
Here's my two entries:


A woman felt terribly bored
By each conquest she entered and scored
On a scale one to ten
She would judge all her men
With a zero for any who snored!
A youngster complained he was bored
Though the cost of his living had soared
With his gizmos piled high
His mum prayed to the sky
That her offspring were exiled abroad.

    A woman felt terribly bored
    of her books all being ignored
    they didn't sell
    till the kiss and tell
    of her affair with a certain young lord.

    Nicely done! I would definitely earn a zero, I'm afraid...
