Halloween Howlers

My costume makes me look fat
And I lost my witches hat
I can’t find my broom
It’s not in the room
Now where’s my lucky black cat

An unfortunate man named Keith
Mislaid his set of false teeth
Tried apple bobbing 
His jaw was throbbing
Poor guy can’t get no relief

I love eating pumpkin pie
My tum is big its no lie
I pick up my spoon
Then I start to swoon
Feel sick and I want to die

Seven years of bad luck. Now through a straw I must suck. But my belly is starting to slim. But I doubt I will ever start going to the gym. Tried to tie the three together with my rhyme. I'll take a limerick every time. Loved em'. Peace. :)

I just saw you told Debs that you never tried pumpkin pie before. It is not really all that!!! But I have a recipe for pumpkin pie with cream cheese on a butter/graham cracker crust that is out of this world!!!

VERY good ones, Jan!!! In that first one, you only have to say and I lost my witches hat, to keep the limerick beat!! I think you are catching the meter really well in almost all the lines of these limericks. Great Halloween post. Will you use it in pie contest?
