That came with the arrival of the fuzz

Elegran Mon 21-Apr-14 09:09:51

They flourished their handcuffs

AlieOxon Mon 21-Apr-14 10:34:45

And thought they were toughs

shysal Mon 21-Apr-14 14:29:44

Until someone called their bluff.

shysal Mon 21-Apr-14 14:30:22

Sorry, Boo-booed

Daisyanswerdo Mon 21-Apr-14 18:55:39

A mother and daughter went shopping

shysal Mon 21-Apr-14 19:02:18

For 24 hours without stopping

papaoscar Mon 21-Apr-14 19:43:57

They shopped till they dropped

MiniMouse Mon 21-Apr-14 19:54:29

Weary brows they mopped

JoyBloggs Mon 21-Apr-14 20:14:16

Then donned their new gear and went bopping.

papaoscar Mon 21-Apr-14 23:10:13

Of all of the lim'ricks that I've read

Daisyanswerdo Mon 21-Apr-14 23:44:56

This is the one that I dread

MiniMouse Mon 21-Apr-14 23:51:59

I can't make it scan

Dragonfly1 Tue 22-Apr-14 00:07:03

Don't think anyone can

MiniMouse Tue 22-Apr-14 00:12:52

So carefully I'll have to tread!

papaoscar Tue 22-Apr-14 09:57:24

At word games you've got very polished

MiniMouse Tue 22-Apr-14 10:02:23

Lim'ricks are quickly demolished

Elegran Tue 22-Apr-14 10:43:23

They're run off in minutes

MiniMouse Tue 22-Apr-14 11:08:13

No 'whatevers' or 'innits'

AlieOxon Tue 22-Apr-14 12:06:27

We know that they won't get abolished!

AlieOxon Tue 22-Apr-14 12:07:15

We've difficulty making them scan

papaoscar Tue 22-Apr-14 13:32:53

Tho' we do the best that we can

Elegran Tue 22-Apr-14 14:24:12

They limp and they stagger

AlieOxon Tue 22-Apr-14 15:03:13

Tho sometimes they swagger

Daisyanswerdo Tue 22-Apr-14 15:21:23

Are they simpler to write in Japan?
