Limerick Challenge – Friday 13th
Here is a little Limerick I wrote for Mind and Life Matters’ Limerick challenge. This week the prompt is “Friday 13th”. In her own words:
“…your limerick must be based on Superstition or a Superstitious belief or something Supernatural. It can be scary, spooky, funny, sarcastic, satire anything you like so long as it follows the theme.”

If a mirror broke Max made no fuss
“Superstition is nothing to us!”
A black cat crossed his path
He just stood there and laughed
Seconds later was hit by a bus.

Max wasn’t very bright if he stopped in the middle of the road to laugh at a cat. Did he survive? If so, did he learn the lesson to finish crossing the road before laughing at the cat?

He’s still stuck to the front of the bus. We’ll have to wait until it reaches its destination before we find out. It’s a sort of Schroedinger’s Cat situation.

I laughed but now I feel bad for Max….he should’ve paid attention to the the ‘signs’ 😛

Ha ha. Yeah, he’s probably constantly walking on pavement cracks and leaving his shoes on the table too. He was just asking for it!
I’m glad you liked it!

Have you noticed how people are always saying “watch where you’re going or you’ll get hit by a bus”? I think buses get a bum rap.

Ooh. I’ll have to think more carefully about walking under ladders and breaking mirrors in future. I’ll look out for approaching buses, too. Great last line. 🙂

I think ladders and mirrors are okay, the approaching bus is the one you don’t want to miss 🙂
