Of poultry and told her to truss it

papaoscar Mon 07-Apr-14 14:18:27

Showed her his piles

When The Lord of the Isles

papaoscar Mon 07-Apr-14 14:16:52

Frillies no use for cleaning floors though, Minimouse Oscar's size XXL M & S Y-fronts would be much better.

MiniMouse Mon 07-Apr-14 11:50:24

Elegran - could have had "some OSCAR's, some Milly's" wink

With apologies to Oscar!

Elegran Mon 07-Apr-14 11:27:15

(I found nought but frillies,
Some Ethel's, some Billy's,
Papaoscar, please lend me yours)

Sorry, couldn't help finishing it.

Elegran Mon 07-Apr-14 11:22:43

For old undies for cleaning the floors

papaoscar Mon 07-Apr-14 11:08:27

Whilst fumbling about in my drawers

henetha Mon 07-Apr-14 10:36:16

Then leapt up and said "That was quick!"

MiniMouse Mon 07-Apr-14 09:48:10

And sloshed on some lotion

papaoscar Mon 07-Apr-14 08:31:14

Gran swallowed a potion

shysal Mon 07-Apr-14 07:59:43

Hoping an aspirin would do the trick

NanKate Mon 07-Apr-14 07:20:15

Coughing and snuffling and feeling sick.

Papaoscar I also think a Stewards enquiry needed That is outside terms and conditions Merlotgran wink

Or should it be "inquiry"?
I never did know. Well at least I recognise there is a difference. Come on pedants help me out here, and explain.

merlotgran Sun 06-Apr-14 20:03:37

While we clear out our lungs with a jar of Vick. grin

papaoscar Sun 06-Apr-14 19:59:03

Limerick, thick, slivoVITZ, MG? Steward's enquiry, I think!

merlotgran Sun 06-Apr-14 18:35:33

Whilst we down half a bottle of Slivovitz

papaoscar Sun 06-Apr-14 18:30:25

And we'll lead you a dance

Anne58 Sun 06-Apr-14 18:19:07

But give us a chance...

papaoscar Sun 06-Apr-14 18:18:10

Sometimes they just make us sound very thick

Nelliemoser Sun 06-Apr-14 18:13:58

What can we all learn from a limerick?

merlotgran Sun 06-Apr-14 18:12:24

Ha Ha, Shysal I was hoping someone would take the bait! grin
