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 a rather clever one PapaO. You are a night owl)

Time for a wine LoopyL tchgrin

NanKate Mon 22-Dec-14 19:18:34

Don't apologise we all make mistakes and I know I don't get the proper rhythm of a Limerick right most of the time. Fancy a glass wine ?

His horse held in in high regard.

Loopyloo you needed a line ending with something that rhymed with guard or lard.

And whistled as he went on his way

MiniMouse Mon 22-Dec-14 17:08:45

Muscles less like granite, more like lard
