Limerick writing Mark 4 (animal, vegetable and mineral)

The dog has eaten the turkey as well

The sprouts are all burnt

The mice just daren't

And the pudding is starting to smell

With rubies and emeralds and diamonds so bright

Send for help! Screamed the swedes and the marrows

(Amend ti) Send for help! Screamed the swedes, What a sight!

Ahem! A little reminder

(Think we're losing the pom-di-poms again, so here's the template:

Di pom di di pom di di pom di
Di pom di di pom di di pom di

Di pom di di pom
Di pom di di pom

Di pom di di pom di di pom di

The black syllables are emphasised, the not-black ones are not.

I'd rather have chips

Olive oil on my lips.

Limericks are slightly more flexible than previously suggested :

A limerick is a humorous poem consisting of five lines. The first, second, and fifth lines must have seven to ten syllables while rhyming and having the same verbal rhythm. The third and fourth lines only have to have five to seven syllables, and have to rhyme with each other and have the same rhythm.

You know these stones just don't taste right,

Said old Jock to the chaps in support

Do you fancy a vegetable torte ?

I'd like a hot dog

And a chocolate log

Here's some pasties (vegetable) that we've bought

There once was a chipmunk from Chester

Who had gherkins with some Red Leicester

He burped up a coin

Ate a bit of pork loin

Then sat back and let it all fester.

The turkeys had escaped from their quarters

The pigs in blankets wont behave like the aught'er

(amend to) they aught'er

The beans did a runner
