Wordle Limericks for the Month of August

SIGHT – 15 November 2023

1
Our squadron took off in flight
Over Dresden* we used our bombsight
As we dropped our bombs
We were alerted by telecoms
The Luftwaffe’s * coming get ready to fight

2

Her figure is out of sight
Each nipple stands upright
She is tall and stately
Her leg are quite shapely
When with her I never turn out the light

3A

I fell in love with you at first sight*
For you were so lovely and bright
I became lost in your eyes
The color of blue skies
Now I still love you with all my might

3B

I fell in love with you at first sight*
For you appeared so lovely and bright
But you were in disguise
A deceptive guise
The real you caused me genuine fright

3C

I fell in love with you at first sight*
For you smelled so lovely and bright
Your breast were oversize
I wound up between your thighs
You were perfect but only for one night

4

What is the difference between sight and site*
If you’re uncertain don’t get uptight
Sight reveals what you see
Site tells you where to be
If you didn’t know that it’s perfectly alright

Footnotes:

*(1) The WWII bombing of Dresden was a joint British and American aerial bombing of the city of Dresden, the capital of the German state of Saxony. In four raids between February 13 and 15, 1945, 1299 heavy bombers of the RAF and USAF dropped more than 3,900 tons of bombs on the city. The bombing and the resulting firestorm destroyed more than 1600 acres of the city center. 25,000 people were killed. This event is well described in Kurt Vonnegut’s novel Slaughterhouse Five which he based on his personal experience as a prisoner of war who was in Dresden at this time.
*(1) The Luftwaffe (German “air weapon”) was the branch of the armed forces tasked with the air defense of Germany. It was created in 1935. By the beginning of WWII, the Luftwaffe was considered the best air force in the world. The 3 million men who served in the Luftwaffe were led by Hermann Göring. It was disbanded by the victorious Allied powers in 1946.
*(3) The 3 limericks numbered 3A, 3B and 3C are nearly identical in the first 2 lines. Lines 3, 4 and 5 differ in each which in combination with a modification of one word in the second line results in limericks with completely different meanings and feeling.
*(4) Site in a noun meaning location. Sight is both a noun and a verb that refers to seeing. They are homophones.
