Anne58 Thu 03-Apr-14 11:07:08

A Gran who was such a good sport

Nelliemoser Thu 03-Apr-14 11:15:28

Had drunk much more than she ought,

Anne58 Thu 03-Apr-14 11:19:10

Though it loosened her tongue

nightowl Thu 03-Apr-14 11:21:55

Her words came out all wrong

Anne58 Thu 03-Apr-14 11:24:13

nightowl that doesn't rhyme, you'll have NanKate after you!

Ana Thu 03-Apr-14 11:25:03

nightowl Thu 03-Apr-14 11:25:57

Oops it does in yorkshire!

Anne58 Thu 03-Apr-14 11:45:21

To find all the words that might rhyme!

Nelliemoser Thu 03-Apr-14 11:49:01

But get them we do,

AlieOxon Thu 03-Apr-14 12:25:11

And post them in too

Anne58 Thu 03-Apr-14 12:34:17

Cos after all it isn't a crime!

AlieOxon Thu 03-Apr-14 20:06:44

Elegran Thu 03-Apr-14 20:09:02

It offended the horse.

Ana Thu 03-Apr-14 20:15:07
