It's bound to be Anton, just you see.

Great minds Ana !

Some Grannies went on the canal...

Which at first seemed rather banal (ok, dodgy ehyme bit looks as if it should blush )

Ana Sat 05-Apr-14 23:11:59

(Well, yes, you could say the same about 'bough' and 'cough'...hmm)

Anne58 Sat 05-Apr-14 23:17:03

humph! I can't even spell "rhyme" correctly! It would only take the teensiest bit of a thingy to make it rhyme, for example if you pronounced it "banal" rather then "banarrll"

Akshewally, Ana that could be an idea for a limerick that looks as though it rhymes, but when read aloud, doesn't!

Ana Sat 05-Apr-14 23:19:56

Oh no, that would have us in Pedants' Corner in a flash! grin

Chased them all up the wrong channel.

Nelliemoser Sun 06-Apr-14 09:36:32

"Chased them off into the wrong channel." Would be better for the rhythm.

Nelliemoser Sun 06-Apr-14 09:39:08
