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?

Her partner is snoring while he sleeps

Oh, can I change that to:

A woman sits lonely and sometimes weeps

NotTooOld Wed 04-Feb-15 20:23:48

A woman sits lonely and frequently weeps

NanKate Wed 04-Feb-15 15:44:07

As the fox and its cubs lie snug in the deeps

Flowerofthewest Tue 03-Feb-15 23:03:17

The gardener is tending her compost heap

The hedgehog is slumbering for his Winter sleep.

I'll go for lamb stew at the diner.

And a saddle, too, of course

NotTooOld Mon 02-Feb-15 21:30:17

"It's only fool's gold", said the whiner

NotTooOld Mon 02-Feb-15 15:22:03

There's gold in them hills said the miner

The life on a farm is pure grit.
