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

Then they'll all go out on the booze.

papaoscar Thu 13-Nov-14 13:32:30

Then they'll need a hair of the dog

MiniMouse Thu 13-Nov-14 14:08:12

Plus the eye of newt and toe of frog

NanKate Thu 13-Nov-14 15:44:57

Chartreuse for me waiter.

MiniMouse Thu 13-Nov-14 15:57:58

Orange juice for Mater

And us fleas will live high on the hog!

NanKate Thu 13-Nov-14 20:21:03

A hog roast is always delicious.

MiniMouse Fri 14-Nov-14 11:26:49

But not for anyone malicious

NanKate Fri 14-Nov-14 11:45:12

Two bangers in baps.

MiniMouse Fri 14-Nov-14 12:01:05

With some onions perhaps

Then six octopi do the dishes

MiniMouse Fri 14-Nov-14 12:58:14

The octopi broke three of the plates

Galen Fri 14-Nov-14 13:13:20

The plates were covered with fishes

papaoscar Sun 16-Nov-14 15:10:32

The octopi broke three of the plates
Which ended up frightening the skates...

trisher Sun 16-Nov-14 15:21:42

And shocking the eels

MiniMouse Sun 16-Nov-14 17:30:30

Prawns took to their heels

janerowena Sun 16-Nov-14 18:03:31

The octopi now have no mates.

janerowena Sun 16-Nov-14 18:04:21

A swordfish walked into a bar

Galen Sun 16-Nov-14 18:14:41

The tender said 'too far'

Galen Sun 16-Nov-14 18:15:37

(The tender is a human- an animal)

janerowena Sun 16-Nov-14 18:22:04

from the tip of your nose
to the end of your toes
and no, you can't borrow my car!

Sorry, I got carried away.

papaoscar Sun 16-Nov-14 19:56:40

The bloaters harrumphed in disgust

trisher Sun 16-Nov-14 21:06:40

It's the herrings you just can't trust

Galen Sun 16-Nov-14 21:55:56

The lobster said 'humph'

NanKate Sun 16-Nov-14 22:00:56

The shrimps just galumphed.
