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 two were asleep, being bored....

The Sheriff, an old ram, was annoyed

MiniMouse Tue 21-Oct-14 12:02:46

The ewes in his posse were deployed

FarNorth Tue 21-Oct-14 18:58:31

To search out that fox

MiniMouse Tue 21-Oct-14 19:21:30

Amongst the many rocks

papaoscar Tue 21-Oct-14 20:44:02

They did, and the ram was overjoyed

MiniMouse Tue 21-Oct-14 21:00:48

The lambs were completely confused

trisher Tue 21-Oct-14 22:01:32

"He's really a wolf," they accused

MiniMouse Tue 21-Oct-14 22:57:47

He removed his sheepskin

NanKate Wed 22-Oct-14 06:57:27

And showed his blue skin.

MiniMouse Wed 22-Oct-14 14:42:52

So the whole flock of sheep was bemused.

papaoscar Wed 22-Oct-14 16:09:34

The Sheriff had a friend, an old goat

MiniMouse Wed 22-Oct-14 17:00:54

Whom he took fishing in his old boat

FarNorth Wed 22-Oct-14 19:05:08

The goat said "Gee Whizz"

NanKate Wed 22-Oct-14 19:24:03

The Sheriff 'here's some fizz'

MiniMouse Thu 23-Oct-14 11:47:07

The pike gobbled up the bait and float.

FarNorth Thu 23-Oct-14 20:03:56

There once was a pretty pink hamster

papaoscar Thu 23-Oct-14 23:16:37

Got involved with a Starbuck's barrista

MiniMouse Thu 23-Oct-14 23:26:36

She looked all doe-eyed

NanKate Fri 24-Oct-14 06:32:03

And a trifle surprised.

papaoscar Fri 24-Oct-14 08:28:47

When a latte arrived from her Sister

papaoscar Fri 24-Oct-14 08:29:30

(For her sister, perhaps)

MiniMouse Fri 24-Oct-14 12:24:45

Followed by two slices of gateau

NanKate Fri 24-Oct-14 12:44:31

Her diet had reached a plateau.

MiniMouse Fri 24-Oct-14 13:00:32

"Just one more slice, please!"
