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

Elegran Fri 28-Mar-14 09:26:08

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

Ariadne Fri 28-Mar-14 09:23:34

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

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.)
