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

I'd like one in red

Said one panda whose first name was Richie

The alpaca yarn's soft, not itchy!

Elegran Wed 03-Sept-14 14:25:17

Like two liquorish-all-sorted candies.

Elegran Wed 03-Sept-14 14:22:51

With white blobs on the back

Elegran Wed 03-Sept-14 14:22:02

Knitted jumpers in black

They will use it to buy a large mansion

Gransnetters win gold for their scansion

rosequartz Tue 02-Sept-14 19:18:47

There was a Gransnetter called Elegran
Whose special ability was to scan
She wrote on the thread
Made it up in her head
And we all thought we wish that we can!

rosequartz Tue 02-Sept-14 19:16:40

[hurray]

Elegran Tue 02-Sept-14 19:02:31

I can scan, Alie but Im outnumbered by mad doggerelists.

Old Oscar the mad rhinosaurus
Whose hide was dark grey and quite porous
Had a goosey delusion
A birdie illusion
But flying proved doubly dolorous

AlieOxon Tue 02-Sept-14 18:44:05

(The thread is going down the pan
And absolutely nobody can scan.....)
