We need fewer trusses and even less knicks

papaoscar Mon 07-Apr-14 21:47:11

Drop all those bloomers

Ana Mon 07-Apr-14 22:00:19

(is all this really funny? hmm)

NanKate Mon 07-Apr-14 22:03:49

Well it made me laugh, but I suppose I enjoy what we used to call schoolboy humour.

AlieOxon Tue 08-Apr-14 07:41:56

It was funnier before.

Nelliemoser Tue 08-Apr-14 08:29:12

Ignore all the rumours,

MiniMouse Tue 08-Apr-14 09:53:27

They're beginning to get on our wicks.

A Gransnetter tried to lose weight

MiniMouse Tue 08-Apr-14 11:40:05

Staying curvy had seemed their fate

Nelliemoser Tue 08-Apr-14 17:25:57

All she ate was cooked cabbage,

MiniMouse Tue 08-Apr-14 19:04:08

Which reduced her great flabbage

Ana Tue 08-Apr-14 19:47:37

Though her spare tyre has yet to deflate.

A gardening Gran sowed some carrots

Nelliemoser Wed 09-Apr-14 08:23:35

And fed them to her parrots,

shysal Wed 09-Apr-14 09:13:15

She planted some beans

papaoscar Wed 09-Apr-14 09:18:39

And then some spring greens

MiniMouse Wed 09-Apr-14 09:50:12

Which tangled themselves into Grans-knots

papaoscar Wed 09-Apr-14 10:11:26

Grans's puddings were vast and remarkable

MiniMouse Wed 09-Apr-14 10:18:11

So extremely tough and inedible

AlieOxon Wed 09-Apr-14 11:38:47

So she made some rock cake

MiniMouse Wed 09-Apr-14 12:17:12

That just would not bake

Elegran Wed 09-Apr-14 12:19:11

But an excellent treat for a cannibal.

AlieOxon Wed 09-Apr-14 12:58:09

(Some people think weird things rhyme!)

Ana Wed 09-Apr-14 13:04:59

(Agreed, Alie!)

papaoscar Wed 09-Apr-14 17:07:45

"Make mine a large one!" cried Gran
