Limerick Collection #6

Right, I have eight of these to write. Do check back later.  
   
Competitive?  
I went hiking with Ania, my sister;  
we stopped because I had a blister.  
She might have out-walked me  
and even out-talked me,  
but I'll beat her this evening at Twister.  
 
Talent  
My oldest of friends is called Anna  
I always admired the manner  
in which she'd draw, sing, use words;  
bring me gifts (some absurd),  
play the cello, recorder, pianna!
 
Peace and quiet?
There once was a woman named Max
whose husband kept playing the sax.
They flew off to Greece
for some quiet and peace,
but he packed it, so she can't relax!

A relief
I went out with Gordon and Mary
to see a new film. I was wary -
were there snakes to be seen
upon the big screen?!
It turns out, it wasn't too scary!

Raising funds while raising fun
It's just struck me with sudden clarity:
I'll do almost anything for charity!
From busking to swimming,
concerts and hair 'trimming'.
it often results in hilarity!
