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

(RoseQ, I wasn't sure that younger GNetters would know about Butlins and couldn't think of anything else to add at that moment. The thought of two Redcoats braced to walk their dogs against the cold wind at Skegness just came to me, I know not why, as we never went there. Probably that old poster of the red-faced sailor. And poodles? Dunno!)

papa I'm old enough to remember Butlins - but never went there! Still going in Minehead I believe!

Anyway:

The dog had a lick
