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

Two's enough, IVF's a bit bang-bang.

(Clever!)

Fine words are flowing in dozens

They remind me so much of your cousins.

Chimp cousins? Not zealous.
Black? Brown? Two? Ten? Tell us!
The OP does lay down these fussings

The two little boys

MiniMouse Thu 14-Aug-14 19:05:20

Broke ten of their toys

rosequartz Thu 14-Aug-14 23:01:46

Each one was blaming the other

White bindweed is strangling the garden

AlieOxon Fri 15-Aug-14 16:47:21

And the yellow clay soil starts to harden

MiniMouse Fri 15-Aug-14 17:01:21

Don your red wellies

AlieOxon Fri 15-Aug-14 17:57:48

Leave the pink jellies -

papaoscar Fri 15-Aug-14 19:59:22

And be one great big weed-warden (whew!)

Ana Fri 15-Aug-14 20:05:39

(Hmm...does 'warden' really rhyme with 'garden' I ask myself? grin)

papaoscar Fri 15-Aug-14 20:27:54

(I will defer to anything better, Ana.)

Ana Fri 15-Aug-14 20:30:56

And ask the weeds to beg your pardon!

papaoscar Fri 15-Aug-14 20:39:45

(Think I'll appeal to the third umpire on that one, Ana, if she's still in the pavilion.)

Ana Fri 15-Aug-14 20:41:57

At least it rhymes - you can't just have the same end-spelling and hope it'll pass...hmm

Elegran Fri 15-Aug-14 21:37:33

What colour, number or animal are the weeds? (See OP)

Ana Fri 15-Aug-14 21:45:39

And ask ten weeds to beg your pardon.

(?)

Ana Fri 15-Aug-14 21:47:41

Or 'green weeds'

Or 'skunk weeds'

hmm

Whatever! smile

Six Grans were involved in a quarrel

MiniMouse Fri 22-Aug-14 18:44:17

Five of them were oh so immoral
