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 tinsel is glittering on the Christmas Tree.

I think we have got a bit lost in this limerick as we are trying to finish off the last line with something that rhymes with tree or tea.

(Elves are "animal", right?)

It's only the geese who are slimmer.
