One of our regular limerick writers Papaoscar has suggested we use Animal, Vegetable and Mineral in our next set of limericks, based on the old radio show of the 1950s.

So are you about MiniMouse or another of our stalwarts to kick the show off?

A sparkly dress I must borrow.

MiniMouse Wed 31-Dec-14 16:09:05

Silver earrings or gold?

The fan I'll unfold....

MiniMouse Wed 31-Dec-14 17:15:47

Sipping juniper gin 'til tomorrow.

The fireworks exploded.

Most people are loaded!

And the neighbour is making a scene

The monkeys are having a party.

They really are very crafty

MrsPickle Thu 01-Jan-15 20:31:15

They swung though the trees

MiniMouse Thu 01-Jan-15 22:48:05

Into a swarm of bees

NotTooOld Thu 01-Jan-15 23:35:25

And were left with a sting on the bottom

NotTooOld Thu 01-Jan-15 23:36:55

Not everyone likes eating sprouts

MiniMouse Thu 01-Jan-15 23:57:30

Even parsnips are causing some doubts

papaoscar Fri 02-Jan-15 09:59:49

And the leeks are revolting

AlieOxon Fri 02-Jan-15 10:58:57

If they aren't yet bolting

NotTooOld Fri 02-Jan-15 11:53:34

So let's get the frozen peas out.

MiniMouse Fri 02-Jan-15 12:14:24

Turkey - roasted, rissoled, curried, broth'd

NotTooOld Fri 02-Jan-15 13:18:52

Never mind the massive cost

MiniMouse Fri 02-Jan-15 13:48:13

Next year will be diff'rent

NanKate Fri 02-Jan-15 22:23:05

The menu quite brilliant

NotTooOld Fri 02-Jan-15 22:58:09

'Cos we're booking a hotel at Kos
