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?

Cabbage soup is smelling quite hearty

Winterwatch comes from the frozen north.

NanKate Wed 21-Jan-15 20:56:13

Sorry Flower let's go with yours.

NanKate Thu 22-Jan-15 07:04:58

Let's serve lots at the elephants' party.

MiniMouse Thu 22-Jan-15 15:41:16

With herby dumplings

NotTooOld Thu 22-Jan-15 16:14:22

And Wensleydale cheese

NanKate Thu 22-Jan-15 20:57:34

The meerkats are rude and really quite farty. hmm

I'm melting some lead to make gold

Flowerofthewest Fri 23-Jan-15 00:02:16

I'm keeping it here in the hold

NanKate Fri 23-Jan-15 07:23:33

The pirates are coming.

trisher Fri 23-Jan-15 09:40:27

"Yo Ho" they are humming

NotTooOld Fri 23-Jan-15 11:41:29

Now I'm walking the plank as I'm told.

MiniMouse Fri 23-Jan-15 12:28:49

The parrot just won't stop its squawking

NotTooOld Fri 23-Jan-15 21:47:56

And the parakeet keeps on and on talking

MiniMouse Fri 23-Jan-15 22:02:50

The harvest mouse squeaked

NanKate Fri 23-Jan-15 22:32:55

The budgie just freaked.

MiniMouse Fri 23-Jan-15 22:36:26

The pirates just carried on caulking.

NanKate Fri 23-Jan-15 22:42:17

Captain Hook has a fiery temper.

MiniMouse Sat 24-Jan-15 01:06:17

Specially when using distemper

NanKate Sat 24-Jan-15 07:00:10

He waves his metal arm.

MiniMouse Sat 24-Jan-15 12:21:44

The steel hook does harm

NanKate Sat 24-Jan-15 18:52:35

Which his missus will certainly remember.

MiniMouse Sat 24-Jan-15 20:48:53

The crocodile came tick tick ticking

trisher Sat 24-Jan-15 21:02:37

Jaws open wide and lips licking
