I've just realised that limericks are in waltz time.

A lot of old Grannies were moaning

AlieOxon Sun 04-May-14 08:27:57

(except the 3rd and 4th lines?)

Nelliemoser Sun 04-May-14 09:25:40

And many old Grandads were groaning,

Daisyanswerdo Sun 04-May-14 10:00:17

So they all got together

Elegran Sun 04-May-14 10:01:58

They huffed and they puffed

(PapaOscar the "ing" at the end should not have been black. You are slipping!)

Elegran Sun 04-May-14 10:02:28

Neither should nies

And dressed in leather

Elegran Sun 04-May-14 11:27:58

And gave Gransnet a mass mobile phoning.

papaoscar Sun 04-May-14 11:35:11

Point taken, EG, I hadn't got me teeth in!

AlieOxon Sun 04-May-14 12:01:12

(Try 'dressed up in leather'? for the scansion?

AlieOxon Sun 04-May-14 12:01:52

(Pretty good though)

Elegran Sun 04-May-14 12:55:18

(and remove the "and" from the last line)

AlieOxon Sun 04-May-14 13:25:11

(We better get it right before the end of the thread!)

papaoscar Sun 04-May-14 14:21:10

One of the old Grans had a problem

MiniMouse Sun 04-May-14 17:45:06

Her teeth came loose, she could wobble them

BeeWitch Sun 04-May-14 18:32:34

So she stuck them with glue

Elegran Sun 04-May-14 18:35:22

They were better than new

BeeWitch Sun 04-May-14 18:59:03

And she got out the toffees and chobbled 'em

Daisyanswerdo Sun 04-May-14 23:26:58

My broomstick's gone in for repair

papaoscar Mon 05-May-14 04:21:44

Like me its lost all its hair

NanKate Mon 05-May-14 06:45:40

I've massaged my roots.

NanKate Mon 05-May-14 06:46:55

And blackened my boots.

papaoscar Mon 05-May-14 07:51:16

But I'm still called 'you silly old mare!"

papaoscar Mon 05-May-14 07:53:28

My broomstick came back, its a cracker!
