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?

She'd spotted a frog

MiniMouse Sat 24-Jan-15 22:32:14

Asleep on a log

NanKate Sun 25-Jan-15 06:53:57

Next to a stuffed roasted chicken

MiniMouse Sun 25-Jan-15 16:47:10

The croc, being hungry, took a bite

FarNorth Sun 25-Jan-15 16:49:52

The frog, being frightened, took flight

NanKate Sun 25-Jan-15 17:31:01

The chuck didn't like it.

NanKate Mon 26-Jan-15 15:55:16

As the croc took a large bit

FarNorth Mon 26-Jan-15 18:20:05

And chomped it with all of her might.

MiniMouse Mon 26-Jan-15 20:14:49

The croc ended up with tummy ache

NanKate Mon 26-Jan-15 21:16:28

He'd swallowed a clock that was a fake

FarNorth Mon 26-Jan-15 21:58:55

So she took caustic soda

NanKate Tue 27-Jan-15 07:15:39

Mixed up with some cola.

MiniMouse Tue 27-Jan-15 20:10:14

Which made her turn into a snake.

NanKate Tue 27-Jan-15 21:20:20

The cobra had such a sore throat.

MiniMouse Wed 28-Jan-15 11:50:25

He sounded more like Gruff Billy Goat

trisher Wed 28-Jan-15 12:40:42

His loud hiss was lost

NanKate Wed 28-Jan-15 15:57:50

As he snaked through the frost.

FarNorth Wed 28-Jan-15 20:26:00

And sang not one silvery note.

NanKate Wed 28-Jan-15 21:54:42

King Henry is sampling the parsnips

NanKate Thu 29-Jan-15 14:20:16

And Thomas Cromwell prefers the turnips.

Retiredguy Thu 29-Jan-15 15:16:06

Wolf Hall is so dark

MiniMouse Thu 29-Jan-15 18:20:18

Its stone walls so stark

NotTooOld Thu 29-Jan-15 18:22:38

And Anne Boleyn is a strumpet

NanKate Thu 29-Jan-15 20:17:27

The sheep are tangoing in Halifax.

While wearing their wellies and pakamacs
