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

Ignited in a rainbow of flames.

(rainbow is my attempt at a colour)

MiniMouse Sun 27-Jul-14 16:32:05

Oh no! The dinner's black and cindered!

NanKate Sun 27-Jul-14 20:23:31

Two tall trees are just for tinder.

(Best I could do in the circumstances)

The cat's looking on in dismay.....

Elegran Fri 01-Aug-14 18:56:05

Two kittens had nabbed it to play.

Elegran Fri 01-Aug-14 18:56:39

(Does the cat want to play with it instead of the kitens, then?)

AlieOxon Fri 01-Aug-14 18:57:39

(Whoops we duplicated but never mind!)
