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?

I've just found some red kryptonite

NanKate Mon 16-Feb-15 19:54:47

Washed down with a pot of Brooke Bond

MiniMouse Mon 16-Feb-15 00:02:48

He'll have carp and chutney

At times his tweeting is quite crude

NanKate Fri 13-Feb-15 09:52:59

He's lacking in culture

FarNorth Thu 12-Feb-15 20:24:41

But here comes a vulture

They are large,greedy and rather rude.

NanKate Thu 12-Feb-15 19:28:09

The pigeons are scoffing the bird food.

MiniMouse Thu 12-Feb-15 15:47:14

To the marble white snow of December.

NanKate Wed 11-Feb-15 17:38:48

The silver stream flowed

MiniMouse Wed 11-Feb-15 16:41:19

The golden sun glowed

NanKate Wed 11-Feb-15 16:04:12

It was a Michaelmas Day to remember

FarNorth Wed 11-Feb-15 14:58:54

One day at the end of September

trisher Wed 11-Feb-15 13:04:36

But tended to lose their heads lots

MiniMouse Wed 11-Feb-15 12:10:32

And kid leather gloves

NanKate Wed 11-Feb-15 06:56:04

(don't worry Mini it happens to us all)

His wives had doves

He also enjoyed conversing with parrots
