Fancy writing a group limerick ?

With rapiers poised.

(....just typical, must have a fight....)(carry on then...)

(men!)

Let us both fight a duel instead

But this concerns both of our pride:

From Houdini to Marco it said

(Pipped at t'post. Withdrawn!)

From Houdini to Marco it said

It's a bit hit or miss

Be careful of this,

(Sorry PAPAOSCAR correct spelling now).

(Good idea Paposcar to up the stakes. When we have reached our 1,000 then we can start an alphabetical limerick. I think it will be tricky but not beyond us grans/nans/gpas.)

A message came in with the tide

The label's missing, so what's inside?

Oh! who cares, just open that tin.

Which one's the winner?

The fatter? The thinner?

The prize of a bottle of gin

So which one of this pair will win?

"Oh blow it, I'll go for the latter!"

And steam it, not fry it

Should he go on a diet?

Marco was looking much fatter

Houdini considered the matter

We'd better get cracking then and reach our goal before starting a different thread as PapaOscar suggests.
