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 crab flexed his pincer

You're a bit of a mincer.

And the lobster said, "Now I've caught ye!"

Purple Ukip may be on the brink.

MiniMouse Thu 20-Nov-14 19:35:31

All the others have gone for a drink

The lice hide in fear

FarNorth Thu 20-Nov-14 20:11:22

Even rats think it's queer

MiniMouse Fri 21-Nov-14 00:18:19

And the mice kicked up quite a stink.

In Parliament, the donkeys revolted

MiniMouse Fri 21-Nov-14 13:36:46

The sheep followed suit and then bolted

trisher Fri 21-Nov-14 16:46:19

The rats promised to stay

Galen Fri 21-Nov-14 17:28:20

The cats said 'hooray'

MiniMouse Fri 21-Nov-14 19:23:01

The cows were so shocked that they moulted.

NanKate Fri 21-Nov-14 20:53:14

Christmas is only 6 weeks away.

papaoscar Fri 21-Nov-14 22:17:27

And the turkeys are looking decidedly grey

MiniMouse Fri 21-Nov-14 23:23:15

The geese aren't much better

Galen Fri 21-Nov-14 23:52:32

The ducks are much fitter

NanKate Sat 22-Nov-14 11:08:39

The donkey just started to bray.

AlieOxon Sat 22-Nov-14 13:53:38
