Oh what can I do 'bout my jamshelf.

NanKate Mon 14-Apr-14 16:36:08

It's not that good for my own health.

Galen Mon 14-Apr-14 16:38:37

To reach up so high

NanKate Mon 14-Apr-14 16:51:27

And fall flat on my thigh

Ana Mon 14-Apr-14 17:00:41

(confused)

MiniMouse Mon 14-Apr-14 17:02:05

And do a bad injury to myself.

Nelliemoser Mon 14-Apr-14 17:04:18

Ouch! *MiniMouse. That doesn't scan well. wink

MiniMouse Mon 14-Apr-14 17:09:07

(This was for Galen so that she could continue in her ruderies quest!)

PapaOscar gets these lim'ricks started

papaoscar Mon 14-Apr-14 18:01:17

With my xxxx on the bottom-most shelf

PS: Samantha advises that Fannies were members of the Female Auxiliary Nursing Yeomanry in WW1 so can't quite see that in the context of a London-bound coach trip. Have consulted Jackson-Pollock on the matter but to no avail. Perhaps Gallen learnt something to her advantage at Scratchwood?

Ana Mon 14-Apr-14 18:32:12

She could have been using the word as they do in the US - i.e. meaning backsides/bums/arses.

papaoscar Mon 14-Apr-14 19:29:15

Now I get it!

Fine words flew out of Gran's mouth

MiniMouse Mon 14-Apr-14 19:54:34

They floated and then headed south

Galen Mon 14-Apr-14 20:26:59

The words said 'the north'

Dragonfly1 Mon 14-Apr-14 20:40:41

Then turned off to Borth,

Daisyanswerdo Mon 14-Apr-14 22:53:30

And ended up somewhere near Louth.

At limericks you're all getting good

shysal Tue 15-Apr-14 08:16:46

As one would expect we would

Dragonfly1 Tue 15-Apr-14 08:41:37

To us they come easy

Elegran Tue 15-Apr-14 08:42:45

They are just lemon-squeezy

Nelliemoser Tue 15-Apr-14 09:41:37

And with that I am off for my pud.

AlieOxon Tue 15-Apr-14 09:49:11

So WHEN do we find out just what

papaoscar Tue 15-Apr-14 10:39:22

Is bubbling in Grannies old pot

NanKate Tue 15-Apr-14 10:49:20

It could be wacky backy

AlieOxon Tue 15-Apr-14 10:54:09

Or something MORE tacky

JoyBloggs Tue 15-Apr-14 11:39:47

I doubt we will like it a lot!
