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

(Well Gran = human = animal . . . grin )

rosequartz Sat 23-Aug-14 17:18:17

(sorry, just realised no number, colour or animal! - can a Gransnetter included?)

rosequartz Sat 23-Aug-14 17:16:49

From the head of Gransnetter called Annie

Ang grabbed the ten gallon

She flexed her eight talons

The eagle had spotted a granny

Galen Sat 23-Aug-14 14:49:22

They knew that their blues had all lifted

rosequartz Sat 23-Aug-14 14:24:03

When she spotted some mice

Galen Sat 23-Aug-14 14:01:12

When the owl hooted twice

FarNorth Sat 23-Aug-14 13:39:40

At least seven hours they had frittered

T'two Grans just tutted and twittered

(I'm from 'up north' as well, and don't pronounce it like that - but never mind!)

NanKate Fri 22-Aug-14 21:55:54

Ana my friend comes from up north and she pronounces floral with a soft o, so it sounds like o as in floss, that is why I used it to rhyme with quarrel.

Elegran Fri 22-Aug-14 19:58:23

And made soup with chicken and sorrel.

Ana Fri 22-Aug-14 19:40:23

I'll leave you all to it, I think! (and floral doesn't rhyme with quarrel either...grin) I'm obviously far too pedantic for this thread. moon

NanKate Fri 22-Aug-14 19:36:05

Feel free Ana to elongate mine for me please.

Ana Fri 22-Aug-14 19:33:38

(hmm doesn't scan very well...that last line is too short NanKate!)

MiniMouse Fri 22-Aug-14 19:32:32

These six Grans had a red hot debate

NanKate Fri 22-Aug-14 19:25:55

All six wore something floral. flowers

Elegran Fri 22-Aug-14 18:49:02

Thought the five were obscene.

Ana Fri 22-Aug-14 18:46:34

The other, quite green

MiniMouse Fri 22-Aug-14 18:44:17

Five of them were oh so immoral
