Keep their memorabilia

papaoscar Tue 22-Apr-14 21:53:28

Macbeth's on a bender. Rock on!

Ana Tue 22-Apr-14 21:56:41

(I'm sorry, but I have to ask - what sense does 'keep their memorabilia' make? hmm)

Elegran Tue 22-Apr-14 21:59:08

When Hawkin met Einstein they tried

Ana Tue 22-Apr-14 22:01:16

To agree, but then one of them died

papaoscar Tue 22-Apr-14 22:05:17

(Ana, I humbly suggest that with poor Yorick gone and Macbeth out on a rampage it would be sensible for the nuns to seek to protect their assets, as it were.)

Elegran Tue 22-Apr-14 22:07:18

From the nineteenth dimension

Elegran Tue 22-Apr-14 22:08:30

The continued dissention

NanKate Tue 22-Apr-14 22:09:24

It's all relative Ein said.

AlieOxon Tue 22-Apr-14 22:11:28

(Ana someone has to keep the records! Anyway it rhymes.)

NanKate Tue 22-Apr-14 22:12:19

Sorry I got in a bit late so ignore my contribution.

Elegran Tue 22-Apr-14 22:15:32

Made ripples that spread far and wide.

papaoscar Tue 22-Apr-14 22:20:26

Then Einstein woke with a cough and a start

Ana Tue 22-Apr-14 22:22:52

(Phew! Made it, Elegran! grin
I'm off - just because it rhymes doesn't make it a limerick)

MiniMouse Tue 22-Apr-14 22:31:50

And then he sneezed which made him dart

(Sorry PO, I wimped out there wink )

NanKate Wed 23-Apr-14 11:58:36

He circled the tree and had a quick wee grin

NanKate Wed 23-Apr-14 11:59:30

(I suppose my line below could be line 3 and 4, I should have separated them) hey ho.

papaoscar Wed 23-Apr-14 12:38:04

(Mea culpa! I think my first line did not need 'Then' to scan properly)

MiniMouse Wed 23-Apr-14 17:12:05

And woke up the birds with a start!

NanKate Wed 23-Apr-14 20:25:06

A rich bird who lived in Vermont.

papaoscar Wed 23-Apr-14 21:25:41

Had big wings and a bright shiny front

NanKate Thu 24-Apr-14 06:17:58

She fluffed up her feathers.

shysal Thu 24-Apr-14 08:02:32

And perched on some heathers

MiniMouse Thu 24-Apr-14 09:55:48

And got all the fesh air she could want.

papaoscar Thu 24-Apr-14 23:10:51

With a large glass of wine in her hand
