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

Then a young hippo started to samba

MiniMouse Sun 28-Sept-14 13:22:59

His w-eight made the road start to camber

FarNorth Sun 28-Sept-14 15:06:01

He cried deer-y me

MiniMouse Sun 28-Sept-14 16:37:56

An adder had come out in boils

A water-snake coughed politely

MiniMouse Mon 29-Sept-14 11:36:55

A lizard tiptoed lightly

NanKate Mon 29-Sept-14 12:29:09

A king cobra in danger recoils.

NanKate Mon 29-Sept-14 12:30:06

Does my bum look big in this ?

MiniMouse Mon 29-Sept-14 15:48:03

The Wise Owl says, "Don't answer this!"

NanKate Mon 29-Sept-14 17:44:37

The hippo modelled it quite well.

FarNorth Mon 29-Sept-14 18:21:10

The rhinoceros as well

MiniMouse Mon 29-Sept-14 18:36:05

If I drew a kite on a tortoise

(Yes I know....it can be nonsense and still be a limerick!)

NanKate Tue 30-Sept-14 12:17:08

AlieOxon Tue 30-Sept-14 14:25:08

MiniMouse Tue 30-Sept-14 14:51:19

The birds would be too
