Limerick writing Mark 4 (animal, vegetable and mineral)

While Hudson is chasing a parrot

Mrs Bridges is munching a carrot

And the servants are saying its scandalous

The ironing pile is mountainous

Made a gem of a feast for that one day.

And swede mashed with ease

With tatties and peas

Stuffed with onion and mince for Monday.

I saw a huge marrow last Sunday

Then he tripped over a large grass tuft.

Chewed a mint, heaven sent!

He'd unpitched his tent

(pitch being bituminous mineral - hooray for Google )

As he walked through the sand and got puffed.

(any geologists about to let me know if sand can be classed as a mineral?)

The camel got the hump and then huffed

She glowed on her various thrones

And emeralds bold

With silver or gold

And fire opals with their multi tones

(sorry NanKate)

There was a young gal who loved moonstones.

(Third and fourth line: 'Di pom di di pom'....not longer!)

There was a young gal who loved moonstones.

The elk wore a platinum tassle.

With a gold watch and a bird's nest

The Zebras had all gone up west

All the gnus were in a big hassle
