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?

As he snaked through the frost.

trisher Wed 28-Jan-15 12:40:42

His loud hiss was lost

MiniMouse Wed 28-Jan-15 11:50:25

He sounded more like Gruff Billy Goat

NanKate Tue 27-Jan-15 21:20:20

The cobra had such a sore throat.

MiniMouse Tue 27-Jan-15 20:10:14

Which made her turn into a snake.

NanKate Tue 27-Jan-15 07:15:39

Mixed up with some cola.

FarNorth Mon 26-Jan-15 21:58:55

So she took caustic soda

NanKate Mon 26-Jan-15 21:16:28

He'd swallowed a clock that was a fake

MiniMouse Mon 26-Jan-15 20:14:49

The croc ended up with tummy ache

FarNorth Mon 26-Jan-15 18:20:05

And chomped it with all of her might.

NanKate Mon 26-Jan-15 15:55:16

As the croc took a large bit

NanKate Sun 25-Jan-15 17:31:01

The chuck didn't like it.

FarNorth Sun 25-Jan-15 16:49:52

The frog, being frightened, took flight

MiniMouse Sun 25-Jan-15 16:47:10

The croc, being hungry, took a bite

NanKate Sun 25-Jan-15 06:53:57

Next to a stuffed roasted chicken

MiniMouse Sat 24-Jan-15 22:32:14

Asleep on a log

FarNorth Sat 24-Jan-15 22:29:12

She'd spotted a frog

trisher Sat 24-Jan-15 21:02:37

Jaws open wide and lips licking

MiniMouse Sat 24-Jan-15 20:48:53

The crocodile came tick tick ticking

NanKate Sat 24-Jan-15 18:52:35

Which his missus will certainly remember.

MiniMouse Sat 24-Jan-15 12:21:44

The steel hook does harm

NanKate Sat 24-Jan-15 07:00:10

He waves his metal arm.

MiniMouse Sat 24-Jan-15 01:06:17

Specially when using distemper

NanKate Fri 23-Jan-15 22:42:17

Captain Hook has a fiery temper.

MiniMouse Fri 23-Jan-15 22:36:26

The pirates just carried on caulking.
