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

Twice as much fuss

Then the number nine bus

Who commuted on the eight-twenty-eight

There once was a spider called Nate

(Love it!)

With purple ears - how about that!

And yellow spots - Cripes!

Her fur had grey stripes

Who's mum was a black haired rat

My best friend's a cheeky meerkat

And the roos are just being aloof.

A rhinoceros!

('Only one tooth'? watch the scansion!)

Four feet thump across

He's goofy with one tooth.

There's a platypus up on my roof

The kangaroo's off with a bound!

Two ai-ais escape!

The monkey's gone ape

The anteaters cannot be found

The elephants can't get around

But I'm still taken up with the gnus

Cows need to be fed

As Noah once said

While counting my sheep in by twos

Thanks

I once felt like singing the blues
