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?

He misses the Browns.

Ignore my previous comment as I got out of kilter with the lines.

Final line - He's a bear who has certainly grown.

The Peru line from trisher was the final line of the last limerick.

Yours can be first line of the next one if you like -

He's a bear who has certainly grown
Who has made marmalade all his own

Line 3

His red hat's so perky

Thanks for getting me back on track Farnorth

Bears are so quirky

He's special so cannot be cloned.

MiniMouse Tue 13-Jan-15 13:55:47

The bears have been on their travels

NotTooOld Tue 13-Jan-15 18:29:30

Over tarmac, concrete and gravel

FarNorth Tue 13-Jan-15 19:17:29

They've met wolves and gnus

NanKate Tue 13-Jan-15 20:53:19

And were on 24 hour news

MiniMouse Wed 14-Jan-15 18:13:41

Their woollies began to unravel.

The Allotment Challenge is coming up Vegs.

The local gardeners are betting their hedges

NanKate Thu 15-Jan-15 07:20:54

Fern Britton presides.

NanKate Thu 15-Jan-15 14:46:34

And gardeners besides.

FarNorth Thu 15-Jan-15 16:35:05

I'd better start trimming my edges.

Flowerofthewest Thu 15-Jan-15 22:09:01

There he stands with his chamois leather

NanKate Fri 16-Jan-15 12:43:37

The monkeys all of a blether.

MiniMouse Fri 16-Jan-15 23:46:50

The dog knocked the ladder

NanKate Sat 17-Jan-15 07:37:38

The cat's even madder.

MiniMouse Sat 17-Jan-15 20:50:57

And the cow broke free from its tether.

NanKate Sat 17-Jan-15 21:40:57

The snow looks like falling crystals.

NotTooOld Sat 17-Jan-15 21:51:32

My feet are covered in blisters

MiniMouse Sun 18-Jan-15 00:17:59

The frost looks like quartz

NanKate Sun 18-Jan-15 07:42:27

It's no good for my warts.
