Limerick writing Mark 3 (colour, animal,number).

(Oh, and the first, second and last lines rhyme together, the third and fourth lines rhyme with each other.)

As you were.

(Time to repeat the template? Again?

Di pom di di pom di di pom di
Di pom di di pom di di pom di

Di pom di di pom
Di pom di di pom

Di pom di di pom di di pom di

The black syllables are emphasised, the not-black ones are not.)

(What is everybody on???)

Two leopards were chasing their spots

As the camel said to the djin

They make qu(wh)ite a din

These aren't limericks. Nothing makes sense.
Please call them nonsense rhymes next time!

The parrot's joined in

He's learning the Blues on the harpsichord.

The cat's just walked on the keyboard

The small brown Ellie is turning blue.

'Mid black looks and gapes

Noah lined up the apes

(Mine's too late and yours is funnier NanKate!)

The Ark sailed on the ocean blue

The red baboon has nicked my shoe

I saw them go in two by two

(of course a bird is an animal, so are insects, fish, and dinosaurs - plenty of strange useful words in dinosaur varieties)

Take the next turning just past Swan Lake.

(Does a bird count as an animal?)

Took a black cab and said

The route map he red

Ten miles from the dentist in Warwick

There once was a hippo with jaw ache.
