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 bull's in his pen

It's snowing again

My sheepdog is herding the cows

Tripped the light fantas'tick'

And sang not one silvery note.
