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?

Bird feeders filled up to the brim

MiniMouse Tue 20-Jan-15 14:20:59

What more can add to my woes?

Flowerofthewest Tue 20-Jan-15 14:18:14

and so is my bum

MiniMouse Tue 20-Jan-15 14:08:49

My fingers are numb

Flowerofthewest Tue 20-Jan-15 13:55:27

And a drip hanging off of my nose

trisher Tue 20-Jan-15 13:25:00

But I'm here I 'm stuck with frozen toes

And a gigolo just down the line.

Whilst wearing a sun hat.

MiniMouse Mon 19-Jan-15 23:11:37

And cashews to pick at

NanKate Mon 19-Jan-15 17:26:17

With a glass of ruby red wine.

(I am in fact drinking a very pleasant chilled sherry, which I think only old ladies drink now. smile

I wish I was basking in sunshine

NanKate Mon 19-Jan-15 07:06:04

And hurry off down to the fair.

NanKate Sun 18-Jan-15 22:24:34

And wrap 'em in tin.

NotTooOld Sun 18-Jan-15 21:50:24

So let's bring 'em in

NanKate Sun 18-Jan-15 17:48:33

My chestnuts are boiling out there

NotTooOld Sun 18-Jan-15 17:31:41

The peas said 'its freezing in 'ere'

MiniMouse Sun 18-Jan-15 12:30:19

Eye of newt worked for the witchy sisters.

NanKate Sun 18-Jan-15 07:42:27

It's no good for my warts.

MiniMouse Sun 18-Jan-15 00:17:59

The frost looks like quartz

NotTooOld Sat 17-Jan-15 21:51:32

My feet are covered in blisters

NanKate Sat 17-Jan-15 21:40:57

The snow looks like falling crystals.

MiniMouse Sat 17-Jan-15 20:50:57

And the cow broke free from its tether.

NanKate Sat 17-Jan-15 07:37:38

The cat's even madder.

MiniMouse Fri 16-Jan-15 23:46:50

The dog knocked the ladder

NanKate Fri 16-Jan-15 12:43:37

The monkeys all of a blether.
