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

The black rhino is actually grey

The chameleon a colourful array

As for the parrots

Orange like carrots

Red blue and yellow you'd say!

Three hippos were making mud pies

Two rhinos were just making eyes

A vulture went manic

And caused a blue panic

But the polkadot horse took the prize!

Two fairies were perched on a leaf

Three gnomes on a toadstool eyed a thief

He had legs - eleven

Quick recount made seven

Many sidewinders caught the tea-leaf!

Grey skies announce Bertha's arrival

To tell of the last tiger's survival

Force 12 would give us a blow

There was an old lady on Gransnet
Whose hub said "It got to stop pet"
Me dinner is burned
Me lovemaking spurned
And.................................over to you

(Psst! littleflo, suggest you rapidly read the rules lest you find that she who must be obeyed drops on you like a sack of lead bricks.)

Papaoscar and anyone else up for a laugh. I have started a new thread 'Yet another daft game. Add a word' and I am not getting much of a response. Please get it going - thanks.

(Papa, you too!)

(Back to our usual muddle then??!! )

To recap -

Grey skies announce Bertha's arrival
To tell of the last tiger's survival
Force 12 would give us a blow
Thousands of hailstones flow

(Wrong scansion lines 3 and 4!! How about some short ones?)

Force 12 what a blow
Many hailstones flow

(Any better?)
