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?

The silver stream flowed

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

To the marble white snow of December.

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

The pigeons are scoffing the bird food.

trisher Thu 12-Feb-15 19:31:22

They are large,greedy and rather rude.

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

But here comes a vulture

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

He's lacking in culture

NanKate Sat 14-Feb-15 16:05:30

At times his tweeting is quite crude

MiniMouse Sun 15-Feb-15 13:46:00

The heron eyed up the goldfish pond

NanKate Sun 15-Feb-15 17:26:17

Of koi carp fish he was very fond

FarNorth Sun 15-Feb-15 17:34:43

So tonight for his tea

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

He'll have carp and chutney

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

Washed down with a pot of Brooke Bond

FarNorth Mon 16-Feb-15 19:58:35

I've just found some red kryptonite

Agus Mon 16-Feb-15 20:59:12

Having recently discovered this site

MiniMouse Mon 16-Feb-15 23:46:05

I'll mix it with lead

FarNorth Tue 17-Feb-15 00:10:14

Then slope off to bed

MrsPickle Tue 17-Feb-15 00:48:55

Oh thinking of what rhymes with site.

NanKate Tue 17-Feb-15 07:53:43

Ma Rabbit was tossing the pancakes

FarNorth Tue 17-Feb-15 19:35:07

She was making quite sure that they weren't fakes

NanKate Tue 17-Feb-15 20:55:15

She sprinkled the brown sugar

NanKate Wed 18-Feb-15 07:10:51

Which would make them feel fuller

trisher Wed 18-Feb-15 19:03:50

And cover up any mistakes

NanKate Thu 19-Feb-15 07:43:51

The daffodils are at the ready

MiniMouse Thu 19-Feb-15 22:38:11

The scent from narcissi is heady

NanKate Fri 20-Feb-15 07:26:20

The snowdrops abound
