I remember when we used to buy these in paper books and sometimes, the results were absolutely hilarious. These are rather simpler, but hopefully also funny.
Here we are on Day 2 of the Mad Lib Daily Prompt. Thanks to Ms. Haunted (Teresa) of The Haunted Wordsmith for hosting these! I love ’em.

Original Story:
Name was so adjective to see the circus, it was the only thing she could verb about for the whole time span. She read stories of nouns that verb on the high wire, nouns that drove around in miniature forms of transportation, elephants that verb, and wild animals that jumped through nouns. The night of the show arrived and Name dressed up like an occupation with a huge smile painted on her face. Her family found their seats and after eating some snack food, devouring a rainbow snow cone, and verb her first cotton candy, Name promptly fell asleep with her body part on her dad’s lap. Name didn’t verb till the next morning but regaled everyone at the breakfast table with stories of animals that sang, noun artists that verb from treetop to treetop in the middle of location, and nouns that morphed into small animals that made everyone laugh. Name loved pronoun night at the circus.
My Story:
Delores was so annoyed to see the circus, it was the only thing she could wait about for the whole hour. She read stories of telephones that lurk on the high wire, customer services that drove around in miniature feet, elephants that chatter, and wild Scotties and a mutt that jumped through stupidity. The night of the show arrived and Delores dressed up like a holding while being told my business is important with a huge smile painted on her face. Her family found their seats and after eating some coffee, devouring a rainbow snow cone, and complaining her first cotton candy, Delores promptly fell asleep with her ear on her dad’s lap. Delores didn’t whine till the next morning but regaled everyone at the breakfast table with stories of Scotties and a mutt that sang, headache artists that yammer from treetop to treetop in the middle of the loveseat, and Scotties and a mutt that morphed into small Scotties and a mutt that made everyone laugh. Delores loved that night at the circus.
Note: You needed some past tenses and a gerund or two, but it’s still funny.
Very funny, Marilyn.

I remember doing these on paper on hot summer days on someone’s shaded porch. Brings back memories.

*clappy hands* I’m SO glad someone else enjoys Mad Libs. They are so much fun to read! 😀 Tell me, did Bonnie, Gibbs and Duke get any credit for their antics or will they remain the wild Scotties and the Mutt?? 😉

Funny! I tend to not think so hard about putting things into proper English. Mad Libs are hilarious errors and all. Hope you had fun!

It’s all those years working as an editor/writer. It’s instinct. It drives my husband NUTS.

We used to buy them as books and fill them in with pencils. They were fun. The still are, but they are actually harder to do on the computer.
