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?

There he stands with his chamois leather

FarNorth Thu 15-Jan-15 16:35:05

I'd better start trimming my edges.

NanKate Thu 15-Jan-15 14:46:34

And gardeners besides.

NanKate Thu 15-Jan-15 07:20:54

Fern Britton presides.

The local gardeners are betting their hedges

The Allotment Challenge is coming up Vegs.

MiniMouse Wed 14-Jan-15 18:13:41

Their woollies began to unravel.

NanKate Tue 13-Jan-15 20:53:19

And were on 24 hour news

FarNorth Tue 13-Jan-15 19:17:29

They've met wolves and gnus

Over tarmac, concrete and gravel

MiniMouse Tue 13-Jan-15 13:55:47

The bears have been on their travels

NanKate Tue 13-Jan-15 07:12:30

He's special so cannot be cloned.

MiniMouse Mon 12-Jan-15 19:27:22

Bears are so quirky

NanKate Mon 12-Jan-15 19:13:59

Line 3

His red hat's so perky

Thanks for getting me back on track Farnorth

The Peru line from trisher was the final line of the last limerick.

Yours can be first line of the next one if you like -

He's a bear who has certainly grown
Who has made marmalade all his own

NanKate Mon 12-Jan-15 15:49:18

Ignore my previous comment as I got out of kilter with the lines.

Final line - He's a bear who has certainly grown.

NanKate Sun 11-Jan-15 13:02:46

He misses the Browns.

NanKate Sat 10-Jan-15 23:34:18

To consult a bear Guru.

trisher Sat 10-Jan-15 18:51:19

And sometimes goes back to Peru

FarNorth Sat 10-Jan-15 18:48:08

Although he likes to roam

trisher Sat 10-Jan-15 18:46:12

So London is still home

NanKate Sat 10-Jan-15 11:26:30

No he's British now, I tell you.

trisher Sat 10-Jan-15 11:16:12

Is he a Yank now, through and through?

MiniMouse Fri 09-Jan-15 23:17:23

Will he say, "Hi there" or just "Hello"?

trisher Fri 09-Jan-15 20:57:52

Hope fame doesn't go to his head
