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

The squirrels are hiding their nuts.

While the squirrels dashed off to a rally

Galen Mon 24-Nov-14 17:17:42

They got at the port (that's red)

NanKate Mon 24-Nov-14 16:17:51

The monkeys cavort

It's where elephants love to dally

There's a silvery mist in the valley.

But the crabs scuttled off on a hike

The cod's an all-rounder

Galen Sun 23-Nov-14 21:45:50

The plaice will flounder

NanKate Sun 23-Nov-14 21:42:57

The elves will deliver by bike.

The reindeer are planning a strike

MiniMouse Sun 23-Nov-14 18:48:41

And some dodgy looking lime green dyes.

NanKate Sun 23-Nov-14 15:28:41

And puce looking fruit fools.

The fairies have sent in their spies
To banjax the hedgehog's mince pies
With tinctures of toadstools...

Galen Sat 22-Nov-14 22:35:24

That fairies are no longer seen
The John Lewis penguin
Is longing that to begin
The winter in a land not on TV seen!
(Sorry, couldn't resist it! Fed up of ads!)

Galen Sat 22-Nov-14 22:29:00

M&S are now feeling quite green

papaoscar Sat 22-Nov-14 21:29:33

And two fairies fell into a mangle

AlieOxon Sat 22-Nov-14 20:05:32

No one saw the news....

MiniMouse Sat 22-Nov-14 18:58:55

The tree (three) lights blew a fuse

AlieOxon Sat 22-Nov-14 17:13:12

With seventeen beads and a bangle

MiniMouse Sat 22-Nov-14 16:44:25

Three baubles had got in a tangle

NanKate Sat 22-Nov-14 15:44:10

And the fir trees are all sort of greenish.

papaoscar Sat 22-Nov-14 14:53:32

Just long for some peace

Galen Sat 22-Nov-14 14:37:16

I think that the geese

My patience is gr-eight-ly diminished
