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?

Croci are around

And crocodiles swim sure and steady.

The cows on the Ark were seasick

FarNorth Sat 21-Feb-15 00:48:17

They were finding it wasn't a picnic

trisher Sat 21-Feb-15 11:19:55

They threw up in the hold

All over the gold hmm

MiniMouse Sat 21-Feb-15 17:05:25

The mice said, "Let's scarper! Make it quick!"

The parsnips are basted and roasting

The chef is puffed up and boasting

The cabbage is green
Which is stuffed in the bream
And the cake is covered in frosting

(I got the feeling that no one wanted to finish this particular limerick so did it myself)

The cats are lined up by their food bowls

NanKate Tue 24-Feb-15 09:47:10

The mice are nibbling on cheese rolls

MiniMouse Tue 24-Feb-15 11:23:50

The rat's near the trap

NanKate Tue 24-Feb-15 16:34:17

The cat's found the map.

(Mini there has been no sign of PapaOscar on this thread for a long time. Hope he is ok).

And covered the doorstep with dead voles.

NanKate Thu 26-Feb-15 09:46:27

The spring onions are bouncing around the allotment

NanKate Sun 01-Mar-15 20:17:30

The parsnips are growing and look bent
