Limerick writing Mark 3 (colour, animal,number).

With two ducks who once formed a quango

With the redwoods of California

(Two beats too long, PO)

A quartet of redwoods (is that better)

(Thanks * El/Al*)

Stepped out in nice red hoods

Those minions and ducks certainly can go!

Those minions and ducks surely can go!

(that fits better)

Alex Salmond is all of a quiver.

(my colour bit is salmon as in salmon pink)

He hopes the blue X will deliver

The black cross says 'no'

The blue one says 'go'

And Nicola Sturgeon is paddling upriver

Gordon Brown is flying the flag.

They all think its soon in the bag

They're red with their bluster

In two kinds of fluster

Some people thinks it's all a big drag.

('some' being a number - loosely speaking!)

A day to be remembered in Scotland.

(A day represents one day)

The Tories are waving their blue wand.

Nic Sturgeon's in waiting

Farage is debating

Colour / Animal / Number ?

(I hoped I could slip that one in without anyone noticing )

(Humans are animals!)

Red Ed is planning to abscond.
