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

It's pouring both cats and wet dogs

MiniMouse Sat 08-Nov-14 17:50:54

But it's lovely weather for the frogs

FarNorth Sat 08-Nov-14 19:52:14

The ducks are quite happy

NanKate Sat 08-Nov-14 20:39:27

And the pups a bit yappy.

MiniMouse Sat 08-Nov-14 21:06:42

But they weren't so keen on the grey fogs.

The ruddy ducks are breeding well

And flaming geese are down in the dell

Two young chicks about to dive.

FarNorth Sun 09-Nov-14 16:50:49

I thought it was five

MiniMouse Sun 09-Nov-14 17:06:34

It was five until three of them fell.

In a tree three buzzards sat contemplating

MiniMouse Sun 09-Nov-14 19:34:28

Two owls joined them to start debating

NanKate Mon 10-Nov-14 08:29:17

One starling presided.

AlieOxon Mon 10-Nov-14 16:13:23

No one thing decided!

AlieOxon Mon 10-Nov-14 16:14:03

Not!

MiniMouse Mon 10-Nov-14 17:40:09

Their heads ached - they all needed sedating.

The Tennis is on at the 02

MiniMouse Tue 11-Nov-14 15:15:01

Love fifteen is the score played by you

NanKate Tue 11-Nov-14 16:47:24

I'm blue without Rafa.

MiniMouse Wed 12-Nov-14 00:44:10

Refreshed by one Jaffa

AlieOxon Wed 12-Nov-14 13:26:58

Will the winner now be someONE new?

papaoscar Wed 12-Nov-14 14:08:22

Sue and Andy are two tennis gu-ruze

MiniMouse Wed 12-Nov-14 15:21:30

Neither one nor t'other wants to lose

NanKate Wed 12-Nov-14 16:43:29

Novak will win gold.

MiniMouse Wed 12-Nov-14 17:21:45
