Now we are on our third thread of limericks shall we up the stakes and try and include within the line either a colour, animal or number.

Some clever minded Gransnetters may be able to do this cryptically (I am not sure if that is the right word to describe what I mean).

E.g. 'The robber done/dun me over officer' not grammatical I know, but you get my drift.hmm
