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?

And the leeks are revolting

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

Even parsnips are causing some doubts

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

Not everyone likes eating sprouts

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

And were left with a sting on the bottom

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

Into a swarm of bees

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

They swung though the trees

NotTooOld Thu 01-Jan-15 17:48:02

They really are very crafty

NanKate Thu 01-Jan-15 17:07:45

The monkeys are having a party.

And the neighbour is making a scene

AlieOxon Thu 01-Jan-15 10:58:32

Most people are loaded!

NanKate Thu 01-Jan-15 07:44:20

The fireworks exploded.

MiniMouse Wed 31-Dec-14 19:15:17

With hindsight see what might have been

trisher Wed 31-Dec-14 18:42:46

At midnight we'll toast Twenty Fifteen

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

Sipping juniper gin 'til tomorrow.

NotTooOld Wed 31-Dec-14 16:31:28

The fan I'll unfold....

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

Silver earrings or gold?

NanKate Wed 31-Dec-14 14:45:23

A sparkly dress I must borrow.

AlieOxon Wed 31-Dec-14 09:58:48

We celebrate NEW YEAR tomorrow

MiniMouse Tue 30-Dec-14 23:56:03

When the husky went home it was dusky.

MrsPickle Tue 30-Dec-14 19:46:41

But the show was a hit

AlieOxon Tue 30-Dec-14 19:45:09

They fought and they bit

MiniMouse Tue 30-Dec-14 19:36:09

Because the civet smelt too musky

NanKate Tue 30-Dec-14 19:26:15

Nottooold and * MrsPickle* the more the merrier.

Now to start a new Limerick.

The pantomime dame brought her husky.

MrsPickle Tue 30-Dec-14 18:53:46

Now it's verses his scent or his smell

MrsPickle Tue 30-Dec-14 18:49:42

But turned him to rhyme
