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?

Sorry blush

NanKate Mon 22-Dec-14 19:18:34

Don't apologise we all make mistakes and I know I don't get the proper rhythm of a Limerick right most of the time. Fancy a glass wine ?

MiniMouse Mon 22-Dec-14 19:19:53

Time for a wine LoopyL tchgrin

loopylou Mon 22-Dec-14 19:25:42

Thank you!

The animals were waiting in the stable.

When the donkey arrived with a cable

Gold and myrrh's on its way!

MiniMouse Tue 23-Dec-14 00:03:50

Don't let the camels stray

papaoscar Tue 23-Dec-14 03:54:56

Frank, incensed, hid under the table

NanKate Tue 23-Dec-14 07:34:15

(That was a rather clever one PapaO. You are a night owl)

papaoscar Tue 23-Dec-14 10:32:17

(Thanks, NanKate, sometimes the mind is clearer in the early hours!)

MiniMouse Tue 23-Dec-14 10:49:52

(Brilliant *PapaO tchgrin )

NanKate Tue 23-Dec-14 18:19:22

From the emerald coloured sky shone a star.

FarNorth Tue 23-Dec-14 21:06:46

Ruby rays were seen from afar

FarNorth Tue 23-Dec-14 21:07:27

Ruby rays which were seen from afar

MiniMouse Wed 24-Dec-14 00:46:08

Three kings transfixed in awe

NanKate Wed 24-Dec-14 15:10:18

Signing their names as was the law

papaoscar Thu 25-Dec-14 04:08:40

Then departed in a very large car

MiniMouse Thu 25-Dec-14 16:41:52

Oh no! The turkey's inside the cat

NanKate Thu 25-Dec-14 16:42:46

I found a silver sixpence in my pud.

papaoscar Fri 26-Dec-14 07:27:27

Hiding in a corner of my hood

NanKate Fri 26-Dec-14 22:16:58

I placed the coin in my hand

NanKate Sat 27-Dec-14 16:42:57

And waved the golden fairy wand.

trisher Sun 28-Dec-14 10:36:22

And dressed for the ball there I stood!

NanKate Sun 28-Dec-14 15:07:28

The silver slipper lost at twelve.
