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?

(That was Line 6)

And the limpets were terribly ill.

As they drank Brown and Mild (line 5)

MiniMouse Sun 04-Jan-15 14:41:52

(Yes, it went wrong again! You'll get used to that happening NotTooOld!!)

'Twas their other friend, Barnacle Bill (Line 1)
Who had a fling with Jolly Jill (Line 2)
The winkles went wild (Line 4)

(I'm confused - what line are we on, please?)

'Twas their other friend, Barnacle Bill.

(Watch it, the lines 3 and 4 are getting too long....)

NotTooOld Sat 03-Jan-15 15:54:39

You'll never guess who else was there

Rin Tin Tin met his friend, Copy Cat

With his faithful old dog Rin Tin Tin.

So he went off to bowl

MiniMouse Sat 03-Jan-15 00:16:23

All he found was some coal

FarNorth Sat 03-Jan-15 00:08:38

Cloth cap on, he got stuck in

NotTooOld Fri 02-Jan-15 22:59:26

My Grandad went mining for tin

'Cos we're booking a hotel at Kos

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

The menu quite brilliant

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

Next year will be diff'rent

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

Never mind the massive cost

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

Turkey - roasted, rissoled, curried, broth'd

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

So let's get the frozen peas out.
