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?

Sorry galen, didn't see your post there

MrsPickle Sat 20-Dec-14 20:20:55

It's been one of the very best shows,
With Marray and Lott
And Tim Wannacott
This limerick would be best off in prose

Grandsnetters (animal) are turning to prose

(Are you using "pom" as your vegetable PapaO?) tchwink

papaoscar Sat 20-Dec-14 17:20:12

We're loosing our way on this thread
Our lim'ricks gone positively dead
The absence of rhymes
Is a sign of the times
So shall start again...

Di Pom didi, Pom didi, Pom di

And the yorkies thought the gravy a stunner.

I'm finding this really, incredibly amusing Lol

NanKate Sat 20-Dec-14 14:44:00

The sprouts thought it funner

(Not sure if there is such a word as funner but let's say it is festive poetic licence)hmm

MiniMouse Sat 20-Dec-14 14:40:42
