Inspired by Linda Alice Fowler's Blog - Dad Egg Jokes 12th March 2024

Dad went to work on an egg each day Til one day the egg cracked on the way Pants covered in yolk It was not a joke That his colleagues egged him on, all day. Dad had an egg every single day He wouldn't have it any other way Til he got egg bound And suddenly found That he was clucking the day away. Daddy was fond of his eggy bready Every morning mommy got it ready One day she was late Much to her distaste He ran off with merry leggy Peggy. Daddy asked a barmaid for an eggnog She thought that he was asking for a snog She took him outside And to her surprise He said I was asking where was the bog.

Dear Beryl, Your Dad Limericks are an absolute delight! Each stanza creates a picture of your dad’s quirky love affair with eggs, from the morning routine to unexpected escapades. I love your humor woven into each line brought a smile to my face, especially the unexpected twist in the last one. Your playful use of language and clever rhymes make for an enjoyable read. I love how these charming verses glimpses into your dad’s egg-centric world. - Blessings, Daniel
