Fancy writing a group limerick ?

And present an amazing sight

Cups of cocoa in hand,

Eyelids full of sand

(If anyone is confused about how limericks should scan, say to yourself:-

Di pom diddy pom diddy pom pom,
Di pom diddy pom diddy pom pom,
Di pom diddy pom, (or Diddy pom diddy pom)
Di pom diddy pom, (or Diddy pom diddy pom)
Di pom diddy pom diddy pom pom.

I'll get my coat too.)

Dactyls, people, dactyls - triplets in musical terms. Dactyls are so called because your fingers all have three joints, and they have three syllables, with the stress falling on the first one.

So there...

Just waiting until it is light.

feetle sometimes I do love you! Scansion is so important.

I think you need to get your coat too, feetle. Now no-one wants to play!

How about whole limericks again? Will start an alternative thread.

Thank you, Ariadne I was starting to think I had killed the thread.

Dead Fred? No way, hosay!

With our feet in a bath full of custard...

Got confused, cos it should have been mustard

With our feet in a bath full of custard...
Got confused, cos it should have been mustard
We hopped to the door

Fell on the floor
And got to our feet feeling flustered

New Limerick.

There was a film star with a toupee

Who one day was feeling quite droopy

So he took hold of his syrup

Which he glugged down with a chirrup

And decided his hairpiece was quite passé

Well done, NK. What about...

A limerick is just what you need...

If you have an urge to exceed

The bounds of propriety

Fed up with sobriety

Drank wine 'til she wee'd and she wee'd!

When digging my garden this morning........

I found myself all over yawning
